Raise the standard
#15
What I loved about this poem was that it was but an interlude, interstice, a brief moment in-between (between what?...does it really matter?); yet it was so chock-full, intense, clever, ironic and fun. How'd you do that? Reading it kind of felt like when I was a kid and lit a whole pack of small firecrackers at once.

Lines 1 through 4 and 11 through 14 were great, as others have mentioned already. That one line...

Come, entertain me with inventive insanity

...I thought to myself, "you just did."

Bravo!
You can't hate me more than I hate myself.  I win.

"When the spirit of justice eloped on the wings
Of a quivering vibrato's bittersweet sting."
