Virtuosity

lots of graphs
saying something
lots of facts and figures
convincingly wink at me
through the digital window
many stand on the horizon
as a mirage
shapeless meatblobs
waving and drowning
coming up for air
gulping as the shimmer
on the other side
of the glittering pond
acts as responding mirror
it's construction time
blurred colors
muffled sounds
putting on rouge
to present the rousing
performance
misidentified as
seeking attention
smoke from many
Magritte lit pipes
lines rising above you
in horizonal shimmer
forever out of touch
reaching down shouted out
sore throat
wretched thirst
in soul deserts
rabbit pulled from hat
truth does not
dare raise
wise old hands
in a forever surrender
management is not pleased
standards must be maintained
