Aren't You?

So here you are
Let’s have a look

A bit on the plain side
Aren’t you
Little
Rough around the edges
Scuffed here
Scratched there
Your manners
Could be more
Refined
Perhaps
Little
Too familiar
Feel
Of the mass-produced
About you

Yet
I see
There is more
Isn’t there
Something
Not quite
The same
Little
Special
Aren’t you
There that
Little
Glint
That subtle line
Curving unexpected
Quirky phrase
Scent of surprise
Tease of possibility
Hint of force
And withal
Yes
You are
Altogether new
Aren’t you
Well then

I am
Glad to meet you
Welcome
Be yourself
Make yourself at home
You are
Completely
Acceptable
Lovely
New
Moment
