Ingenuity at its finest need not apply,
nor the perpetually shrink wrapped face of sour grapes,
profundity at its epoch is serving you sinker and suds,
or inscribing the parchment of the lasered powerpoint,
A hackless character actor objects to Art Miller’s frivolity,
Chaplin’s disloyalty, precocious thespian dinner banter.
An asylum dweller’s pharmaceutical break-through just three decades away,
has composed the same aria every night,
with legs invisibly strapped akimbo,
claques and divas languish in somnolent respite.
