Bourgeoisie Rebellion

Fashion is ritual:
a bourgeoisie motif of rebellion,  

against our own skin, 
against the vapid notion of nothing, 
against the stifling notion of everything.

Legitimacy granted by repetition: 

God is real. 
God is real. 
God is real.

Bow ties.
Bow ties. 
Bow ties.

    This is fantastic! The repetition is titillating and perfect. It's short but oh so sweet.
