A Situational Solliloquey
Has anyone ever had to remind you
that, this is not a dress rehearsal for life?
The blocking, the lines delivered, and also the air of attitude
were all video-taped earlier, for all to witness;
any, and all worthless posturing
is akin to being, quite in error, at this point.
That's exactly 'why", no one wants to listen to any excuses,
or sift through perfect alibis one cannot use.
Every moment is captured as a "final take"
with a sort of "ensemble feeling", within the troupe;
kind of like a "theatre in the 'round", type of thing...that's constantly ever-changing
as everything in sight, evolves "full-circle"...into view;
and, the mind begins to readily wrap around
the notion that one's actions, and intentions,
are by far, the best ways to measure an individuals integrity,
in direct comparison, to one's role as a proponent of the end result, in which the circumstances dictated;
and you will be perpetually, "logged on" to your brand of unpopularity,
as you attempt to "tap in", to what just makes you, "tick";
until you find, it's not a popularity contest...after all,
but, a series of segued segments, steering towards a "situational solilliquey".
