State in Which Things Were Before
By Brian Sluga
This will be my calling
the road will never end
as an actor I've scaled the heights
it's a powerful muted life
Fly a kite if she tells me
heavens clock is all tallied
sane like but don't move
reality is to become a leading man
In some weird way
I wasn't surprised
led a beautiful sorted life
transparent in my vulnerability
someone destined for the scene
Those boundaries accepted
the cultural realm is considered
plans to leave my calling
with whistles and chants
Perceived negatively by supporters
social movement wanted to maintain
status quo seen being deliberate
Referring to rather than formalizing
a glimpse almost visible
those consequences
when the world turns to dust
Exorcised by the author
deeper fear of causing offence
perhaps the salacious celebrity
my show may never open
