" Play Acted "

" Play Acted "

Play acted
as body slams
amplified
like tragic masks
of re-mastered
neon and spandex

too viscous to beat
via mile-high stares
throughout totalitarian
lands of laughter's absence

plus imposed abstinence
deemed, "alternative" facts
due to sparse vocabulary
for "unfixed" reality

from drab mild-mannered mavericks
being harassed by wisecracks
and caraway badness averse to planning
on a controlled interplanetary scale

corresponding on behalf of aliens
insistent on hard data thrown off balance
by crusty characters of compare-and-contrast
cautionary tales seen as collaterally damaged
within maladaptive families of addictive
" can't-stop " antics fighting to regain
their bearings, " Don't ask!"...
