Made to Hallucinate

" Made to Hallucinate "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Into Decline "

Into decline
burdened by
growing needs
under staggering shields
yielding to swelling ranks
of supposed saviors
thrown into danger
as a huge redo
in a frieze-like wound
of youth and beauty
In an appointment-only space
as a suite of galleries for buzzing
honey bees packed up
in a mobile structure
being squeezed
by whirring wings
laced with curry
and emptied
of nectar
while taking place
in stages
of monographed
installations
made of stiffening
clay
shaped by haughty
curators
in order to forestall
change
While exhibiting their
favorites
in anticipation
of a reinstallation
within tents
and under umbrellas
that keep coming up
as entitlements
renamed, "Untitled"
coinciding
with the unsigned
nearly
three times the size
of unoccupied
and preoccupied
like
legislators on
wavers
made to hallucinate
during
a driving reign...
