"Fictional Rituals"...

"Fictional Rituals"

Fictional rituals
ceremonial
glow sticks

on a predictable
set list
for the generally
tentative

sounding limber
spouting "shiver
me timbers"

while sifting
and sorting
like little kids

engaged
in simplicity
minute-by-
minute

especially
in rhythm
during games
of monkey-
in-the-middle

tossing nothing-
in-particular
as abstract
slapstick

pouting,
"Well blow
me down"...
