Plastic future

'One word',

the earnest guest

tells Dustin

in his Graduate role. 

'Uh huh.'

Significant look. 

'Plastics.'

Pregnant pause. 

'Uh huh.'

Bewildered soul,

facing 

shifting sands

grasps at

Ann Bancroft's

legs like straws

crossing and

uncrossing down

the years

anchoring us

in immature longings. 

'Forgive me

if I don't

shake hands',

say our future

fathers in law 

reminding us

of the 

inconvenient truth 

that loveless lives 

can never be 

the same

once they

blacken 

and crumple

like celluloid 

in a flame.

Caribbean Skeletons

Pirates hidden from

Moonlight, sweep ocean's bottom

With bedevilled bones

Psycho (the movie)

Slashing knife

slits shower curtain

blood spatters on walls

streaks in arterial bursts

washes down the drain

of no return.

Bloodcurdling screams

Marion is dead

she wasn’t untainted

but didn’t deserve

ultimate bloodletting.

Killer wearing a dress

cleans up the mess

disposes of the body.

Mother, you can watch!

But mother is

mummified corpse,

rocking in her chair

hidden in the attic.

Norman is permanently

trapped in Mother’s persona

split between mother and son.

Scene stays in my mind

source of nightmares

I couldn’t take shower

for over a month!

It’s A Wonderful Life

The scene where George Bailey tells Mary Hatch he wants to do things his way and then,

he breaks down kissing her repeatedly ... it's such an amazing scene and it's such a beautiful movie.

Bound to Mothers' will...

Twofer

Two I have that touched me

in ways I couldn't fathom

Neither is a favorite film

Scarred is the word for the first

"Parents" was its name

a plate piled high with barbecue ribs

I knew were human. . . 

a boy forced to eat them--

I can never un-see that

or forget.

Inspiring is the second

"Say Anything"

A dictionary five inches thick

with most of the words highlighted

made it okay to have a good vocabulary

to enjoy words

to be smart.
