charisma machine

the charisma machine walks through the valley of pain
fighting from the only place the artist knows how,
creativity

the demonstration, crisply in bedded by the charmer,
begins at a moment subsequent to the Birth of the World,
in which vestigial forms float in fields of unbounded color,
these efforts are often regarded as
direct ancestors of the unsettled

they remain the holographic ghost’s
most indelibly radical creations,
what came next?
a distinct chain of mechanisms,
arranged chronologically in the performance,
it was inventive enough, it shocked the imagination

presented are a crudely cartooned
profile in pink, a cluster of scribbles in blue,
slack splotches of pink and black, and a
smattering of horizontal, scratchy lines, all on
a starkly white background

channelling the spirit, rather than the idea,
proposed is reduction of processes,
by successive destruction,
it's terrific, escaping a chronic
quality that kept the operator of creativity on a leash,
all the artist’s life, the ability to mesmerize,
despite the artist’s most barbaric intentions,
the charismatic charmer could rarely help but please
