The way of style and high fashion, And its relation, status, rank. I am all of these ins and outs: Of juncture, of matter, and of case, In respect, regard, in every detail; Chapter and verse - I am the page.
RELATIONS and CONNECTIONS
I am kinned, and connected .... Related, allied, and of that ilk, To all that is pertinent, ad rem And all that is relevant, a propos. Mortals are misallied, and misrelated, Foist in, dragged in by the shoulders, Isolated like some outlandish alien, Adrift from all that comes and goes. Some have blood-ties, affiliations ... With clan, tribe, nation, race: Kith, germane, distaff, spindle, Distant, intimate, and close. Some have relationships thru' marriage Affinity with the whole wrecking crew: Relatives-in-law, nuncles, lawma's, Buddies, step-kin, and kin removed. Some reciprocate with interaction, Engage and interlock and inter-tie: With mutual or joint correlation, Some respond, and give reply. Some identify with selfsameness, There's no difference 'tween them all: Duplicate, twin, and homoousian, They're six of one, and on all fours. Alike or similar — analogous mortals Match the alter ego: the mirror image; The twin that resembles and takes after The pea besides it in the pod.
