Going faster miles an hour
Let's go to a movie, darling
I've been meaning
to overload my senses
and lying in wait for
Blade Runner: 2049
The time was right for it
to return
a Nativity/origin story
when replicants reproduce
they can no longer be
expendable slaves
Incredible, ineffable
process shots
the haunting green eyes
"Joe's" simulacrum squeeze
I think,
Ana de Armas
Permanent revolution
constant mutation
To the grand and grandiose
Grand Lake Theater
Film poster
on bus shelter
Skulls and calaveras
remain ubiquitous
later and later in the year
Los Muertos gives way
in Advent
In Advent of the film
I hit Splash Pad Park
for my customary blast-off
on superlative herbs
A palace of frivolity
and amusement
amidst everyday life
School across the street
So I wore
my party kicks
Ah to come inside
an elaborate theater
on a November night
of light rain
Impudent characters
strut in the lobby
I pay them no mind
I prefer a more vintage cinema
black and white is fine art
noir is an acquired taste
Past this portal of the past
into the real world,
Life represented as
evocative dreaming
A venerable machine
a projector
honored by the passage
of time and light
Enter the theater
of the unknown,
Akin to falling into
a special state of sleep
Small sidekick theatre
with a screen amply wide,
I sat way up front
on reclining seat
with apples, raisins
dark dark chocolate
water and brandy
The walls go kaleidoscopic
oriental rugs applied
to the rococo
The as it does eventually
an extraordinary curtain goes up
the film begins
I'm so high and virginal
only one other film this year
I merge with the experience
remember it in passages
Return again
to the imaginary world
through this portal
Superhero OD
Comic book movies
are the oxycontin
of cinema
