Sell off your soul
for every drop in the shallow trough
Cast a glance at a delusion
of unfettering levity

You've bartered with your self

Now your reflection
(that of a desperate charlatan)
has presided over your genial demeanor

I urge your disclosure
delicate ornament:
does your glass herald
the consumption of effeminance

Do you manifest a majestic fac-simile
void of profundity
Product of doddering expectations
from those who aren't well-versed
