Bound for the Stage

" Bound for the Stage "

by Suzán Jiván

for Lester Mobley

The perception
of inevitability
permeated
by the incapable
decimated
by hard labor
bound for the stage
in an adaptation
of, " Hairspray "
with the ease
and imagination
of a bequeathed
beauty queen
in a nation
weary of the weird
being widely
criticized
as glittery and incisive
in capering dance
and brass fanfares
with advanced ticket sales
for the jaggedly handsome
and the raggedly romantic
as slicked-back shaggy
shaping the fragile
played dazzlingly
culminating
with a standing
ovation in harmonic
celebration...
