understanding the rural
a measured distance
from the theater-
the roles that play authenticity
as if projecting a 'naturalness'
will enlighten
the horrendous show
culture perpetrates
on those
who are totally scripted
to perform a falsity
that is neither authentic nor natural
but simply the animal
domesticated on the discursive pablum of ideology:
actors fallen into belief turned agents
parading as a form of ethical violence
