Clytaemnestra

Clytaemnestra

               All hail!

The narrator must remain 

               A beacon!

"The living of life looks normal

     against memory when you're 

          near the narrow end."

               Lady of Sorrows! 

[Put your fan behind the haze

     machine, not in front…]

convinced puns, turn o' phrase,

     parody, hilarity

          gets misty."

where its narrator

                                        creeps, it's more fruitful:

"Water droplets, not angles

     or letters or glyphs or green,

          just greyish white."

[And mop the stage, 

     frequently…]

               They fight.
