Performed on YouTube
as, " Amid So Many "
Amid so many lucky breaks
explained away as parting waves
of heartache like a mild narcotic
with a likeness to headlines
over the rest of our lives
Staying up late as painfully
long days like a range
of off stages over the decades
adjacent to diluted moods
of refusal like a hula
Cradled with string
while balancing
alternatives to pandering
as patchy pageantry
like copy cats of the drab
With a flourish amid the rather
real-life gag of untapped cat's cradles
being replaced by flirtation
cast haplessly backward
and fizzling out as juxtaposed solos
fated only to pose at the opening salvo
