Let's workshop this poem about a "druid" at Stonehenge during summer solstice, a quasi-cosplayer--equipped, perhaps, with an Amazon staff--who buys his own purpose-giving hype (hook, line, and sinker)
Sunrise Behind the Heel Stone
The oak-wreathed “druid”—
Crocs, white cosplay robe—
mimes the jerking of wonders
from recondite realms, arms
flourishing (with micro mudras
too akin to sign language
faked at press briefings)
loud enough for that jumbo ego
to buy his own wizard bullshit.
“We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”—Kafka (against the safe-space cancel culture pushed by anti-art bullies, left and right).
