Performed on YouTube
as, " A Longtime Confidant "
A longtime confidant of probably not
following the normal standards
and 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 longtime
undying bookings 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 to carved
bony objects
steeped in red
across a predatory marital bed
stretched across a frenzied center
of cryogenic stealth
like a naysaying mindset
As a common result early in its run
sometimes funny, sometimes suffering
coming to life at dusk
with an audible stillness
and a look of innocence
in a payola figure
Almost in its original form
seen by many many more
as a small comfort
exerpted from a longer version
with a close-up showing
a handful of loans
nailed in only two takes
late into middle age
Especially legendary
like a stupefying expression
spoken with a biting gesture
like a bug-eyed bonehead
resembling a walrus-tusked chessman
in a Medieval collection with no contest
Revelling in unfamiliar dimensions
with toothpicks and bits of string
glimpsing the unspecific
in an exhibition
scrapped as a catalog
too daunting to print
given the obvious
as impossible...
