Admiring comments
inspiring and creepy
outside the ring
while peering obsessively
into push-button realms
of relentlessness
as barbed endeavors
of the not-so-tender
All-too-familiar
compulsively shifting
between comic jigs
of stiff-upper-lips
and tongue-and-cheeks
undergoing
mind-control
in starring roles
Most valuable
overtones
like comminglings
of stardom and firearms
in muddles of art
post-Oscar
whisperings of, " Ah "
with fragile charm
becoming jarring
as, " Ahhhh! " ...
