Puccini’s Plasma;

A theatrical production Life faux feed moving

Image etching

Line of flight outside Act One of La boheme

(The scene where the script comes to life through

Fire)

Spiraling to a sentient dialogue between

The less acclaimed characters in every major

motion picture never made

Plasma cutting your hair salon does not have a

Liquor license to kill

A movie that was once an etching by Alfred Durer

But is now many pieces of sculptures made out of

21st century debris and rubble

Glass that will eventually shatter creates shadows

That will never fade

Puccini’s plasma a smoothie for the average opera

Singer to alleviate the costal muscles

Puccini will not charge you for the

Entrepreneurial business venture because his

Libretto provides a narrow path out of which to

Exit and enter

Free electrons at the rally for freeing even more

Electrons, chaos among electrons collisions

Resulting in televised images of their free electron

Revolution

Plasma screen television broadcasting free

Electron rally from where the lightning strikes
