Artifacts of Major Outrage

" Artifacts of Major Outrage "

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
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...
