Makeover

You know me well
enough to smell
when the screen
shows the usual scene
of how easy
to the point of cheesy
I am to read,
to get enamoured,
what is my creed;
and it only serves to reinforce
that you coming into my life's course
along with them
and him
are the marrow, the bones, the muscle,
the old and new hustle,
grace
and face
of my poetry
and if that isn't artistry,
then all else is a sin.
