Libretto Poem by Kevin Mireles

Ready to impress.
Something new.
Something fresh.

Designer labels,
imported stones,
fables of a non-fiction heroes.

Narcissistic linguistics,
simplistic specifics,
sex driven diction.
percussion seduction
Melodic precision.

Woodwind instrument,
symphonic poem
lay waste to dissonance.
Moaning Opera.
Encore. Bravo. Encore.


—Note from Poet: a captivating, if somewhat chaotic, experience. a performance designed to impress, but ultimately, the lasting impression may depend on whether the reader is willing to look beyond the shimmering surface and find something truly meaningful within, whether it can transcend mere performance and achieve genuine artistry.
