it dragged. even the popcorn was stale.











your face is stuck to the back
of my eyelids, like a poster
for a bad film

and stop grinning that goddawful
grin, just because I watch
doesn’t mean I like

okay?

    Ha ha. This is brilliant.

    Painfully funny with a rich, witty depth that sticks to the roof of the mouth like glue. . . not that I'd know. . I grin. There is a familiar warmth to it. I love the spoken style. . it lingers long after reading.

    So, why do you watch?

    Beautiful poetry as always from you, you make it look effortless. The amount you write it probably is, and has always been good. . I must catch up soon. lol. . I'm actually back at the hospital, smuggled in a mobile device, so I can get a few seconds connected at a time. 7-year-old laptop-- reliable.

    Hope you're well,

    I really like the ending of this poem - it kind of reminds me of that old "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" quotation you always have amazing imagery - and this is no exception - I really enjoyed it!

    good thing about a poster is you can take it down, or stick another over top

    Lol this gave me a snigger as well. When I am resting I often say that I am looking at the insides of my eyelids:
    This is really beautiful you know. It touched something inside me.
    Congratualtions on your trophy.
