Ambitiously Staged as Aging

" Ambitiously Staged as Aging "

by Suzán Jiván

Performed on YouTube
as, " Well-Heeled "

Well heeled as site-specific
and always riveting
with an acid tongue and droll delivery
full of jokey but largely charm-free
preconceived theater
like featured premieres
of follies in underlying
high-minded muddles
in the middle of nothing
but the monotony
of feckless freckles
recklessly accessed
as imperfections
instead of adolescent
innocence
Slyly reinvented
increasingly smothering
and deliberately belittling
becoming bewildering
as fragments of ideas
Directly in the sweet
spot of an
odyssey
as an emerging
body
inadvertently exposed
to free uploads
acquiring their own
potency
with blistering
notes
in long-running
shows
as a clown
known
all over the
globe
like an irreversible
coma
In empathy with untested
enemies
with only a tenuous
connection
while settling for the unmentionable
tragic
mashup with a rotating cast
Ambitiously staged as aging
giving free reign
to appalling fascination
and poetic observation
like naysayers
in semi-stages
of the pseudo-sacred
waxing and waning
in gangsta strains...
