Extracting Words
I like the new movies, like,
a million-percent better.
Who has time for talk?
As in life, words slowwwww
everything.
But the scene of Genevieve and
Luc walking in the misty woods?
Maybe I’m half interested in the
Crap he’s shoveling her.
So I hafta ask Dialog Revealer on my
Virtual Reality.
“Nothing. Small talk similar to what
the birds are obviously saying.”
I comment Everything muffled, and that’s
always a good thing. So I can get on with
my freakin life!
“As...wishes tragic Genevieve! But you
haven’t murdered an old boyfriend!”
No shit? Oh show that!
“Plus, argument beforehand?”
Nah! The same as everybody’s.

The Chinese Century
For Love and Glory
-We're supposed to be into the Chinese Century,
but look at their New Years, and all the nonsense
with dragons. Dragons! Oh my!
-You're implying no more dragons to be feared,
and even slain?
-Cut it out!
-How about metaphorically? Buoy us up a bit!
-I don't deal in figures of speech.
-I bet you don't even want Mickey Rooney and
Judy Garland to find an old barn in Connecticut
and put on a show!
-Not really.
-Or Fred and Ginger to dance by signs of
railroad stations right up to Broadway's Palace?
-Toodley-doo.
-But people want a show! To see one or...
-My show's the bottom line.
-A fine and private place,
but none, I fear, do there embrace.
-Poetry! The very definition of useless.
-Let’s make a movie!
-Where I'm converted to bullshit at the end?
Buying statues for the peasants’ church?
-Better than your version.
-Mine just wins!
