Performed on YouTube
A longtime confidant
of probably not
following
the normal standards
or demographics
as blonde and bubbly
even when saying
dark things
triumphantly
by setting up
punchlines like, "Um"
Then goosing the crowd
by shouting out, "Get Out!"
after a catty sigh
like a lifetime
undying booking
on, "Tonight"
Blissfully like a kind
of salad made famous
by Julia Child
while getting blubbery
from Monopoly money
As anonymous artisans
wearing conical
likenesses carved
from bony objects
across a predatory
marital bed stretching
across a frenzied center
of cryogenic stealth
into a naysaying mindset
As a common result
early in its run
sometimes funny
sometimes suffering
coming to life at dusk
with an audible stillness
as a lack of innocence
in a payola figure
Almost in its original form
seen by many many more
as a small comfort
excerpted from a longer version
with a close-up showing
a handful of loans
nailed in only two takes
in late middle age
Especially legendary
like a stupefying expression
spoken with a biting gesture
like a biting bonehead resembling
a walrus-tusked chessman
in a Medieval collection
with no contest
Revelling in unfamiliar dimensions
with toothpicks and bits of string
in an exhibition
scrapped as a catalog
too daunting to print
given the obvious
as impossible...
