Acknowledged possibilities
with sinister hints of vulnerability
reiterated weekly with viability
then evoked full throat
as a hoax seizing the moment

in exchange for major validation
and a mash up of pervasive admiration
as a camp extravaganza.

Easily won
gifted and ambitious
yet, risking his legacy
in favor of slavishly awakening
his self-righteous, even messianic side.
