The Masquerade Ball
the world is a stage and
the Devil is the hardest working {man}
in show business
he'll have you out here throbbing 3rd dimensionally
his cabal will seduce you...slow siphon you
make you feel like you're winning
when you're actually losing...
sinning...smoking....boozing...snorting
consorting with oily spirits
greasing genitalia...opening secret portals
whistling past familiar graveyards
famously fetishized
strutting along blood red carpets
in a green mile style
as fiendish smiles and hungry glares
stare at the exposed nakedness
of you...a new entree
pig roasted...with an Apple stuffed mouth
rotated around and around..like the ground hog
you really are...a Star...
full of gambit...ambition...and gumption
primed for their consumption

Shit that's brilliant! Seems like too often the "win" is a loss

"the world is a stage and

I'm feeling this...this absence of light, if you will.
