Performed on YouTube
Based mostly on sexual attraction
timed to coincide
with incandescent lights
to the visibly recognized
profiles on one side
becoming more lifelike
with eyes fixed to the right
in formed alliance with dynasties
as if by surprise
Coveted by hundreds
cultivated as cults
with a cocky chuckle
and a coo and cluck
rendered by others
as wellsprings of impulse
Like straphangers in enamel
drawing overwhelming crowds
giving succinct accounts
of what went down
while pointing out
and coalescing around
the here-and-now
with know-how
for now as a gadabout
In a topsy-turvy greenhouse
lined with tiny teeth
and an untrained eye
for nearly exact copies
involving industrial espionage
carving out paw feet
out of troughs
having never sat for a portrait
with eagles for support
fairly sleepy
over the years
surpassing
six figures
as extravagantly avid
dashed-off acumens
of abandon
synchronized
out-of-sight
yellow-green
over strokes
of ochre...
