Pedestals

LES PIEDESTALS

since times imemorial, thay have confered grandeur and dignity

to every item they have boastfully displayed;

raising a roman statue, an imposing bust, 

a priceless artifact, or just an ordinary bowl,

to its just standing in the pecking order of distinction;

exaggerating its value in our eyes,

singling it out among others less worthy of our attention
