Count As Taste
Some people flatter what others lambaste.
How can we measure
what some count as taste?
Some people purchase what others ignore.
How can we measure
what some might deplore?
Some people worship what others despise.
How can we measure
what some idolize?
Some people nourish what others neglect.
How can we measure
what some give respect?
Some people value what others berate.
How can we measure
what some propagate?
Some people garner what others lay waste.
How can we measure
what some count as taste?
