Billy,
Hardly a sonnet as this is written in iambic tetrameter, not pentameter. "if this were about me i'd feel very depressed" it's about those who value style above substance. Or as someone once said, "It's better to look good than to feel good darling!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marcells,
I'm wondering about this line: "pay them off with spinning whorls"
The answer is yes and no. Yes it refers to those hypnotism wheels one gets as a prize at the circus, but it also means any worthless bauble. BTW this is written in accentual meter not quantitative meter!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
