30). Peripheral

modern poetry

Among artists
Finding themselves,
Rewrite the times,
Center peripheral;
You can take a story and change and sell it.

Inward is his effect.
Adjust one set of opinions.
Alternate rehearsal, audition,
Emphasis.

He knows me and he knows him and he knows them.
What takes you through the century?
Gives credit for thinking in it.
Talented, once you read.
