CINEMA LIFE

silhouettes sit dry and processed
  like 
  condiments
in 
the 
    womb-dark 
    Screen 4

shapes 
  of simple 
  single intention
shapes 
  held 
  in an 
  alien hug
  wrapped 
  in a 
  sorcerers coat

back-of-the-head 
cash witnesses 
    all 
  hungry 
    for 
    a 
  dream 

    all reduced unpeople of only eyes

shapes 
  like
  seated ciphers 
  teased controlled
    and 
  cheaply liberated
willfully forgetting personal crisis
    till after 
  the neat resolution
    till after
  the rolling graffiti of faceless names
    
    and
    then
    their cold eviction
    out
    into
the cracked neon 
the rioting desolation
of
the
night drawn city - actors too they wander / wonder
      between 
      challenging
      roles
pulling their lines from ether 
  habit
    expectation
      and
      the
thick mud of hearts - blurting  improv 
on the 
raw boards of street
genuine in ignorance
  of
  their
  inglorious
  unwritten
  ends
