Performed on YouTube
as, " Trying to Retain "

Trying to retain
artifacts
of major outrage
as an A.O.K.
like a chance to play
along the way
while awakening
to incarnation
in legacies of pathos
Inducing
conscious-raising
in the face
of a surname
leisurely against
the speed and pace
of a digital age
Via older creative
affectations
in shipping containers
with something
of the flavor of fleeting
beauty mixed in
with world-weary cruelty
Consisting mainly
of unseen demons
in profane fables
with high-ranking
outsized
prosaic campaigns
of pervasive
persuasion and patronage
without complaint
Dwelling on the demise
of covert alliances
all in the mind
as a de-emphasized
run-and-hide
humankind
while doing time
Barely worth
mentioning
in first-name
notation
by the way
chilling, say
as estranged
roommates
drawing acclaim
while lying dying
with subtitles
of blurry lines...
