Performed on YouTube
as, " Months Before "
Months before
teetering while seeking
to rein in the little-known
thwarted reports in staccato
With a nod to a star
as a chaotic cosmic snarl
disappearing into inevitability
with indignant disbelief
Disguised as bonhomie
adding sharply to the top
of the heap in stand-up comedy
Never wavering from the deadpan
shattered by huge laughs
laid-back on laugh tracks
acceding to demands
held for ransom
With the utmost care
fancied as a man
with the biggest laugh
but a telling lapse
in slight of hand laid bare...
