CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

Bang.
I'm a noise.
A gun full
of blanks.

No, 
I'm a name.
A licking flame;
a little dancing belief 
in some—finite existence.

Now, 
a performance. 
Some bloated, disordered,
and complicated system; A full-on 
rhetorical fireworks display—going off with no explanation.

Then, it's 
not so much—what 
do I do next? but, how can I refuse?

And lastly, 
not so much—what have I become? 
as, how was I used? and how often? and, most important, by whom?
