Photoplay

Sometimes,
in the darkened theater
behind my closed eyes,
I don’t know whether to laugh
or to cry at the madness
playing across the screen
again and again.

One becomes accustomed
to almost anything I guess.
The unfulfilled need,
increasing in intensity,
finally becoming a craving
for something unattainable.
One priceless moment.

No...
The word echoes.
(Push)

Just lie back
and watch the movie
as ice forms inside the room
quenching the fires within.
The cold lulls me to sleep.
I’ve never seen the entire movie.
I wonder how it ends?

This is great! I'm a movie buff and I read enthralled at your image of sitting in the theater.

Neat-o! Great poem. Questions the whole point of mindless entertainment. Great job!
