Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

The play started early today
And strolled past its end time
Even without an encore
The shadow man clapped,
I knew you once

Holding tight to its ingenuity
Like a black and white rerun
In slow motion
Spiral spine productions, illusions
The scenes tried to spark insight
It's the 10th try in 10 minutes

Laughable, bony
Just you wait he said, I'm growing some meat
I promise…
It's the 10th try in 10 minutes

Evermore, a play on infinite understanding
In neat bows tied
To sinking
Pirated chests, you thought
I didn't know
kept me as the eternal viewer
of that descent
Tasked to find
the evocative in the
a i r bubbles
Maybe, I could try again
It's the 10th try in 10 minutes

Eject e j e c t EJECT
a wind pipe translator
A heavy shadow clapped
Relentless in his ability to choke
For no other purpose
than to take air
It would seem almost casual
Sadist
Drinking pinot as my tears spill
Heaving
Retching
Into myself
Noir like your glass

I hate the play

Yet, you still stand in front of me
Preening in oily glee
To re run it again

Tomorrow.
