3.0

one realizes when reading the work, the actual absurdity of beauty (from beauty of the structure of the poem) as well as the meaning of 'beauty'. i would have rated this higher, but my own sense of beauty is painfully scissored by Scappettone's urge to not be framed by her own permutations. instead we are forced to transit and not be confined by our sense of beauty and ugliness.
