You try to provoke me, thinking you're sly, and that I’ll give a stage to your indefeatigable ego. But I've thoroughly travelled the scenery of your drama, and will not hold space for it, any more.

I have no idea what you meant.
Is it a brilliant placeholder
for a deeper design,
or merely a glorious farce?
Please, help me understand.
