MARQUEE MOTIF

Neon lights broadcast sold out show of one Matthew Scott
expert stage craft presents quotidian  shows without sound
sole audience  forcibly revisits this biography performance
private owner lifetime supply of entire stock season tickets

(to one smash box office hit after another improvisational)
lightning speed mime hologram flashes life capsule oeuvre  
corpus trials and tribulations indelibly recorded upon spool
sibilant auditory oohs and aahs from vindictive ultimatums

only one take each scene despite personal abysmal reviews
and serious consideration to hire professional management
accompanying actor, director, producer, projectionist writer
kept preserved upon cranial medium - so called gray matter

extant within the guarded and private repository Fort Knox
until the eventual disintegration from cumulative memories
become totally obscured with the thickening fogs of old age
and the curtain comes down on the final act upon  mortality

now methinks to maximize every precious moment via craft
ting this, that and t'other poem typing like the Dickens in an
attempt to cap cha flitting wisps (key words and/or sentence
fragments) gushing forth with vibrancy, where output gets

tapped via...my hands

thus, I feel grateful
that eight fingers
and two opposable thumbs
provide me sensation to touch
and distinguish via tactile contact
multifarious nuances
in texture and temperature
in tandem with flexibility
to bend hand extant wrist allows
or pivot toward specific object
whether applying
fine or gross motor skills tweezer
or, shovel like respectively to
scrutinize item
especially when seeing, reading
or hearing a poignant clip
describing an accident,
per fickle finger of  ill fate
about someone in limelight or an
anonymous individual bereft
to grapple, hoist, lift and
wrap arms in a loving embrace!
