Performed on YouTube
Amid so many
lucky breaks
explained away
as parting waves
of heartache
like a mild
narcotic
with a likeness
to headlines
over the rest
of our lives
Staying up late
as painfully
long days
over the decades
adjacent
to diluted moods
of refusal
like a hula
Cradled with string
while balancing
alternatives
to pandering
as patchy
pageantry
like copy cats
of the drab
With a flourish
amid the rather
real-life gag
of untapped
cat's cradles
being replaced
by flirtation
cast haplessly
backward
and fizzling out
as juxtaposed
solos
fated only
to pose
at the opening
salvo...
