Character
The character appears
on page,
but of his design
who’s to gauge?
From the printed word
we decide
where in our favor
he’ll reside.
If he’s battered with
rags-a-tatter,
from him we will all
scatter.
If he’s in tailored
coat and tie,
for his rapt
attention we’ll vie.
If he staggers up
from the gutter,
we expect all
profanity to utter.
If high society lists
him by name,
our invite to dinner
won’t shame.
If he knows how to
bow with style,
we suspect a nature
without guile.
After all study our
mind’s decided,
this character is
really divided.
