Feckless in a World
Participating in “public-ing” anymore is
just too odd/awkward/weird
sometimes almost painful
But I do have conditions for success
There is a discernible level of
artificial “participation” of
which I am poorly suited
Performances on either side of the stage
as transparent as paned glass
the only critique focussing
on technical or procedural deficiencies
Being in on the bits is
as comforting as
being clueless victims of all the scams
And it happed seamlessly
with speed and precision
unimaginable just a decade back
The system is so rigged
BUT
ALSO
“Public-ing” the performance in its
most organic and authentic forms
is high art at satisfying peaks
This I understand
The best-curated characters
are always loved and desired
An antidote (anecdote)
If the powers are from the purest of places
never used for evil
the run could last a while
as long as the interest remains
All likely amusement is deserved
especially when shared
among all stakeholders
Comes the time when novelties wear
and everything returns to this new world
calm and clean as laboratory robots
Stakeholders are the stakeholders
