Shed Damaged Conventions

months of creative rehearsals develop through improvisation
walked into view edge of stage in bluish lighting
control normal traffic damaged pulled out of service

investigating human or mechanical error slammed back
        two-car
must allowed monitor runoff avoid criminal regime steal
shed blood cede give up country presidential runoff

16 injured both vehicles expect to release more information
I never conventions routines cast idea carnivalesque pageants
repeats at end rejected producer embittered demeaning
        ensemble
