“Patience is for Poltoons !!: a Play-ful Poem-ful Performance Piece” is an embrace of the arbitrary nature of syllables and sentiments; of signs, signifiers and signifieds; of technicalities and traitorous truths. The piece draws upon archaic words and contemporary echoes in a mad dash toward a conclusion, any conclusion, that might result from such exploration. It is the ultimate exercise in existentialism, and its success is dependent on our faith in the exercise itself.
Is it a metaphor? No. Perhaps, if it must be, but it musn’t.
