MOVIE GARDEN

steel planes scratch straight white flames over the sky.

placing the coffee cup on a chair I pull the chair nearer

with

the

hand

that’s

not

holding

a

book.

out here in castle grounds the quiet of mowers and the fence kids loud cries of fun and quick horror

form

an

ambient

movie

I

will

call

The Sun Is Hot.

pages flare with nuclear glare and when the clock says

5 or 6 or 7 or 8 I will drink something harder.

inside

later

this

happens

and

lonely and empty things riot on the borders of plastic zen.

quiet finger-winds blow on yellow brick outside.

this forms an ambient movie I call

The

Witness

Of

A

Mute

TV.

stare at the phone ringing like a 

fool 

in 

a 

movie

I call Black And White Coda.
