Drag Queen Theatrics

A drag queen caused quite a disruption
with her latest drag show production.
While she sang with aplomb,
the full show was a bomb.
That's why she's called Eva Destruction.

At the Elks Club, the men blow a gasket
when they see the act for the Grand Banquet.
Her singing is so fine
and her dance is divine.
She's a drag queen: Helena Handbasket.

Theatrics

Every time you turned your back,
I walked around to meet you face to face.
And all the times you said;
"I'll come by later"
I knew you wouldn't
But, I waited just in case.

For all the times you said I love you,
That warm embrace so sincere.
How often you must have rehearsed those lines while standing in your mirror.

Tell me,

Theatrics

I'm enjoying your theatrics 
How you fake it with such flair
Pretend that don't see me
Act like I'm not there
I hear your cackling giggle
 With exaggerated smile
 A show of pure contentment 
Play acting all the while.
I'm not your target audience
Don't buy your reverie
I feel your eyes across the room
Burning, watching me
I know that you're aching
Choking

Marco and Laura Coming Together

It could be seen in the rough surf 
Marco and Laura traveling towards French style turf 
Touring the gulf 
Showing the teeth of an angry wolf 
Winds swirling 
Waves curling 
Water hurling 
Like a southern gent 
Dealing with egotistical celebrity resent 
Putting up a TNT hospitality tent 
Programming things on TV 
Watching it with a

Cloud Theatrics

clouds up playfully dancing in the sky
scrapes and patterns nonchalantly floating by
shrouds of marshmallow forms that mystify
cottoncandy shapes in guises quite flamboyant
grounded gusts released on wings of butterfly
landscapes enjoy their suitors so gallant
magical theatrics in slow motion
whimsical courtship games incite emotion

The Soliloquy

This show isn't worth
the cost of admission
but you have to attend
as the sole exhibition 

You’re the audience,
lead role, and critic
bored by the drama
engaged as a cynic

Directed by the subconscious
your character is formed
and you watch in horror
as you helplessly perform

The theatrics are not lacking
the drama is realistic
the storyline is tragic
and the plot is narcissistic

Amused by your pathetic

Polemics and Theatrics

Cult and trend and recalcitrance 
I'm from the streets and have seen things
But this I have to admit is beyond me
It's hunting season and they are all in
Pontificating politicians demanding penance
Pointing fingers at pimps and king pins
Attracting the attention of sharp shooters

It’s a dreary mess of an age
They are feeding us baloney sandwiches
So that we

Intense Theatrics

Remove self from a dramatic scene as if it didn’t appear.
Deaf and dumb it’s best to become when it rears its turbulent head. 
Dramatic scenes unrecognized will soon implode when ignored.

Grammar School Theatrics

speak up my dear
the class can't hear you 
when you mumble
e-n-u-n-c-i-a-t-e
stand up straight
pull that hair back 
from your face
no wonder no one wants 
to play with you
at recess all you ever do
is sit outside the classroom door
nose in a book
"look, look! it's bug-eyes"
she hears somebody say
"she's such a booger-nosed,
knobby-kneed, goober-dweeb"
she waits . . .
until their
