As if the movie was afraid . . .
so in the first episode
this face . . . and you're thinking
take this face through the whole movie
but nope, you're tossed into a dark room
writing over your writing
because you can't see . . .
words like dictation
the rain in Spain gives you wet brain . . .
Now you're worrying about remembering
to google unclogging a drain . . .
It's like that
the obliqueness
trying to fit it all into some designated,
predetermined framework . . .
The delusion of illusion, yes? . . .
and you're riffing on the responsibility
of the artist not to look away . . .
to render what to you is real . . .
But it's late, really late
for these visitors . . . these night stalkers
too late to be assailed
by the critic at the gate . . .
Too many weary heads
dislocating too many weary shoulders . . .
