Gravitas

Strains restrain the streaming lines in my brain
repeat the refrains of the words scrolling through
the blasted remains segued like a crossfade, this
is English remade,
raw, unmade, repaid.
misunderstood, misused
like grammar, frequently abused
forget being brief, talking with your
hands, elegance demands that you stand before
your judgement, countering with reprimands
is this where you shall stand? Defend your
definitive state, posturing to reinflate that you
are, in fact, the expertise that defines release-
are you complete, did you say it succintly, is this
necessary to repeat, be replete, pretend confidence
reposiution your stance, this is Webster's show
go get your hat and dance.
