Am I really like this?

Am I like this?  A product of a working class family from Dublin. I am of that much disputed territory between 5.7 and 5.8.

I have a conviction of my own superfluous state , a consciousness of exclusion a despoiler of my own talent; I have a philistine bias; I am  an uncertain dandy; there is a squid like clouding of my modest sepia soul, but I have an unbridled swagger. So all is not lost.
