It's about time someone raised the issue of shapism. It's always the square peg made to feel unwanted. Should we circle off a square or square a circle? Or should I not comment on poems myself already half cut (it's Friday :D)

Well it has been pointed out that the circle has 360 degrees and is still just a big ZERO.....HAHAHAHA...or perhaps a parallelogram is just a lazy square or a gymnastic triangle
