This is an honest poem, and hits me right at my nose, so to speak. It is so easy and tempting to just buy instead of make.

It makes me sad, such an elegant thing with such a tragic purpose. Seeing things like this make me wish I lived in a world where interesting things like this didn’t have a purpose.
