You're Prufrock and Other Observations!
by T.S. Eliot
Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic
and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying
to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really
heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.

Ouch -- not a good comparison is my understanding.
You are far far far from Prufrock one would hope, not a personage of futility and hopelessness unimproved by a fortunate position, and fearful of having to justify that futility to yourself as you age and get infirm. That at or near the end there is only regret and no satisfaction.
Intelligence wasted on frivolity and inconsequence.
A less than auspicious web-jit, eh? Like "I am a garden slug drunk on beer..."
...or, "I have the scrofulous sensibilities of Rich Reynolds and portray the sorry aspect of same" — or some such. Sincerely.
A particularly insensitive web-jit contrived to disrespect the participant a little too, imo.
In all honesty I have never read Prufrock so I don't know how far off it may be. Except that I do sometimes think the world is full of stupid people trying to impress each other the rest does not at all ring true to me.
I love Michelangelo!
