Oh, For Art's Sake!
First person,
Second person,
Third person--
Each personage keeps pace,
Remains tenable by not
Capitulating agency.
Their perspectives are one in
The same in the present tense;
However, if their corresponding
Contemporary historicity differs,
Potential tensions are presented.
Depending on the declarative past,
Mutual embodiment, as mobilized
By a rhetorical device, is lost to
Memory; interactions are recorded,
Filtered for emphasis, edited to
Enhance production quality.
As time passes, an embedded local
Communal chronology intertwined
With a dynamic regional seriality
Imbues the representation produced
For further review.
A tourney of causality exists eclectically,
Occurs regularly, even as the world turns--
Global.
