Court Decides IN FAVOR OF Royal Crown Cola

FRONT ROW, STITCH YOURSELF TO YOUR SEATS
AND LEND ME YOUR EARS:

To avoid becoming a stew of swirling neuroses
we make the most of these strangers close to us
(proximity being part of the game)

and we praise their names despite
inconsistencies or frailties, we extol
virtues half-imagined or half-fulfilled,
(make the most of what you will is
a possible footnote to the law)

One day when my libido drops below
absolute zero, and Kreutzian philosophy
becomes hypothetical instead of a
slippery slope, I hope I have the courage
to head east, to that beach where daily
I see halflings and the half-insane make
their way aboard a white ship. It's a trip
I've been planning, a starboard wake into
which I may make a final plunge.

Someone, come by here and take note
of the two of us watching sunlight
spread refractions above the tv
in the early morning hours when
usually I would be asleep

To avoid being a simmering surface
of axons bundled tight and nervous,
I extol virtues half-imagined and
plot out worlds half-fulfilled, and
one day I will cast myself to their depths

When I saw the title, I thought the thread was placed here by mistake.

Nice. It's interesting that you only addressed the "front row" rather than the entire audience.

of axons bundled tight and nervous,

I think this was my favorite part. Mmhmm. Seeing as axons are part of the nervous system, it was a clever turn of words.
