Is Not A Movie
it’s just a life story, so there’s no climax
no more new territory, so pull away the imax
in the slot that you sliced
through the scene there was no shyness
in the plot that you passed
through your teeth there was no pity
no fade in: film begins on a kid in the big city
and no cut to a costly parade (that’s for him only!)
no dissolve to a sliver of grey (that’s his new lady!)
where she glows just like grain
on the flickering pane of some great movie
