“ If Ever “ ...

” If Ever “

If ever
highly selective
acts of protest
soon trending
amassed collections
instantly embellished
benchmark-amended
professional upendings of discontent

reprieving recording series
speaking points of contention
as censored swing collectives
yet still left missing as an integral
part of “The Self”

being likened to implausibilities
burned in effigies perceived
outside of incoherent theater seats
via swirlings of tai-chi turnings and tiltings

manipulated limbs gripped at the wrist
no sign or urgencies or violent kicks
realized in idea-thin-sci-fi flicks
as still peerless museum pieces

experiencing shockingly serene
individual flourishings
intermixing formidable complexities
having once been given short shrift
now seen sneaking up on a listener’s
synthesis elliptically bridged...
