Welcome to The McCarter Institute

Heavy the heart of remembrance

To be searching inside yesterday

Lost on the attainable absence

Plastered by a memories ghost

By the sands filtered movement

Teasing wishful occurrences held

Blissful recognition recedes further

Capability flails in abandonment

As cherished embodiment consumes

From a learned and practice state

Given significance to witnessed source

Still grounded before our fleshy demise

While thunderous clap of heavy heart

Pounds feverishly against skeletons cage

Igniting temptations reckless imposition

Cautions fraternal pestering serenades 

Alas the too familiar visitation to sorrow

Brings together repeat acknowledgement

Softly spoken but hardly ignored entirely

Remembrance again challenges hardship

Somber inequities filtered through menial background

Testimonials derived of thyroid cancer, newly founded

Sheppard's following, a single-filed prone obedience

Miserables denial, the triumphant misunderstanding

Treacherous commodity, stolen advantages unknown

Sealed compliance, walking under the staged umbrella

Every waltzed footstep, a played consortium of refute

Preened anxiety, the scampered run-around deployed

Things from yesterday's rage, denominal circumstance

Flagrant degradation, wondering among tonal ignore

Myopic versions of human involvement, as bestowed

Everyday blasphemy, freshly brewed within accounting

Winters uninhabitable existence, commonly accepted

Mentalities social monitor, on permanent disconnect

Contrite presence, acting on a borrowed participation

Eventualities conclude, thunder struck before an expire

Relinquished command, times grand sutured witnessing

Sovereign engagement, spinning under repeated evolve

Timely minutes, running verily before the excited masses

Another column of character, song-and-danced abruptly

Hibernating inside momentary slippage

Engulfed by random transitional speak

The flowered beginning naturally faded

Insistently displays again stayed moisture

The running of life's everyday carnage

Rounded upon our hurried inclinations

Diminish fully sincerities trying accolade

Leaving unfinished a profound meaning

And dwindling under the pressurization

Shielded beyond any redeemable grasp

Examples unforgiving ink laid scribble

Records thusly each stipulated guessing

A histories field-tested experimentation

Borne of the many temptations afforded

Flail despondently to a winded suffrage

Left billowing to a wanderer's imagination

Making totalities slow intrusive passing

Ground of repeatedly suggested homage

A series of ingrained delusional thinking

Unworthy of interpretations acknowledgement

Blank signatures from invisibilities past stolen moment

Memories stringent recollections, lost in a flatulent flue

Sciolism, relinquished under muted arrogance emerged

Theaters dancing, a worlds ravished undertaking found

Spacious elaborations, spinning forth the bountiful array

Icy declarations strangle every truthful undertaking alas

Beings stone-harbored announce, timely minute's peek

Destiny, borrowed unto thy traveled everlasting abound

Pressurization, stunned between a crimped insistence

Filtered vulnerability, unto forged compliances avowed

Waning defiance's, trailing under moonlights dual comply

Clarity, spinning tween helpless shadows of fading light

Grounded denial, stages forth the chronicled reminders

Images from yesterday's beleaguered insistence remain

Evenings shade following, sheds light under twilight's fall

Spacious unfolding, dimmed of existence's known spiral

Appeasement, copiously injected on narrative pronounce

Literal insinuation, sanctimoniously broadened to height

Generality soft-spoken, within a triumphant testimonial

Tomorrow's grainer passages, tell the tale of bygone era
