Film Scenes

FILM SCENES

 

Sometimes film scenes seem sharper than

life’s

chili

in them skyscrapers explode

and people, even after a huge catastrophe occurs

kiss warmly and passionately,

not counting

their last seconds of oxygen.
 

Though sometimes –

and you’re not a more ordinary

hero –

you leave the house having not turned off the gas,

not having greeted your neighbor

and…

loo –

your film runs out.
 

Before the setting sun sets you still want to

direct the scenes, to cut out the most disillusioned,

yet
 

someone over there, by the television

really likes your

sobbing.
