PERFORMANCE

erased from history
 deeply respected
& composed
 proficient
yet
 was fated to
be
 forgotten

 entirely
to be trusted
striving
to thwart
the successful

  tested
when with
 elegant
irony
talent seemed
  to deteriorate
 opening up
an
intriguing
   possibility
dependent
profoundly
on
the sensory

ths the
divergent
 resonates
   improves
 &conforms
the experimental to
 pioneer
 the  improbable

 evoking a
 pastiche
   depiction
of the passive
shape
  &
challenging
 the
successful

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
