Performed on YouTube
Featuring the accomplished
as a recent self-release
while spinning with tradition
as well as the unexpected
twists and turns
of dramaturgical surgery
with the painstaking detail
of a noir gangster in drag
as a felon without question
Obsessively pressing
the fast-forward button
like a vibrating device
for tricking the mind
in front of each eye
stymying dilation
plus befuddling
the tongue
When tethered together
with momentum
while hanging our heads
as a final sign
of an opening line
of the likewise
not far behind
Like the equivalent
of a sinister familiar
forced to draw
a single straw
and coming
up short...
