Stop making sense.
- David Bryne, Talking Heads
Is it worth the effort to bring home the bacon
or release the stops and replay the collision
of fancy-pants words for odysseyites-in-training? . . .
Of course, the ramifications, allegations,
the daytrip to the photo-shoot
with clothes-horses astride the aforementioned . . .
An abundance of light . . . or delight, yes? . . .
You were promised a free ride but then what? . . .
The ventriloquist's dummy lost its voice
after speaking in tongues to residents of Utopia . . .
There was no turning back . . . the River Styx
if that's what you're thinking
or are about to think about . . .
Akin to moving into a loft to excavate
grainy black and white footage
from a foot locker earmarked for extraction . . .
before the scene in which briefs are filed
at a unknown law firm is dumped . . .
But that won't explain everything
being light years away from any sense
of street reality . . .
It's simply an idea . . . not unlike any old idea . . .
enamored as you are of the contemporary art scene
brimming with new or outlandish notions
in a culture punishing outsiders . . .
