Same Old Song Redanced

When singing a splendid solo
in a public place
becomes a political act,

When dancing a diva duet
in your Mama's political space
becomes a barely tolerable act
for economic and politically powerful co-developers,

Then opportunities for communion
have devolved into too uncivil communities
for cooperative eco-social resilience.
