Bleak February

Bleak of February only a matter of taste
like any other trope, marketing taste requires
models. Common citizens are able to mimic
modeled behavior but not to modify models.

Models who manifest bad imitations of good behavior
see the excision of a swath of fashionable fabric, strike
that – rather, fabric made to look and feel fabulous/fashionable

By failed poets, now movers & shakers, w/ interns upturned downtown.
