Cinema


Lately he’s stopped going out to the cinema
The hallways of doors into edited dreamscapes
Big time stars their streamline dialogue jackanapes
And he, a silent part, gazing, Seat 5 Row R.
The charger cinema in his top coat pocket
Home computer cinema daze without flicker
He’s let go of too for visions closer quicker:
That high sky round and found, not reliant on socket,
Uplift of hours where sunlight colours colour,
Strangers’ faces formal and no two similar
Before opening their mouths on the next saga,
And the scene change of day, no cut or curtain call,
And with eyelid touch of night his own cinema
Of lifetime reversal dreams, his new normal.
