staged

[fadingtableaux]

I made a stage of liner notes
and arranged the lyrics in three acts,
cutting out pre-made lines
into witty dialogue
I couldn't quite place track 2.
listening to the over-emphasized
bass of unwritten symphony
absent from these punctuated
lines
as if they needed no
explaining.
and burning
the bridges traversing the quiet extremes
of chorus
and verse, unrepeating.
one chance to
grasp the fleeting,
because after completion
track 2 didn't
fit in act 3.
