"The Story Played Out"...

" The Story Played Out "

The story played out
where less is a luxury
since mid century

hard to believe
depressing reset
discussing the self

as a brick-and-mortar
catwalk presence
for artistic directors

slick salt-and-pepper dreads
sporty references
paper-thin leather
mini khaki dresses

hearing yourself think
sailing into the space-ship building
lacking in coincidence

nostalgic soggy trips
hard not to grimace
all-too-familiar drawstring gingham...
