It’s kind of hard to know how to feel
when something ends
that never really started.

You just have to love imagination don’t you?

What is, imagination for anyway?

Where does it hide?

Does it fight with logic all day?

And what determines who wins?

Does hope join the fray sometimes
with disbelief?

Wow… no wonder I always have a headache.

Funny,
my train of thought only gets me from A to B.

Damn it! I want to see what’s at Z
and beyond…


Sometimes my dreams seem like the coming attractions
for the movies house in my mind.

No worldwide premieres or summer blockbusters
on this marquee though friends.

I guess my mind is so small that I’m lucky to get a decent
independent film now and again.

And even though I can’t read the subtitles, nevertheless it’s still better
then a lifeless theater.


Hey, do me a favor, and remind me to stop buying
the, big, popcorn.

I keep thinking that I’m going to have someone
to share it with.

But the doors are padlocked, the soda is flat,
and it’s just me left now, running the projector.

Anyone care to watch a silent movie?

We could make up the words,
it might be fun??

The matinee is, second person gets in free!

I’m already here, so you can be my,
two for one!

No?

Not really?

You’ve got things to do?

That’s cool, what do you got going on?

Oh…life?

Hmmm… I don’t think I’ve seen that one yet?


The thing I hate most about sitting here all alone
is that when I laugh out loud at a funny part
it echoes against the walls
and I look up and around
embarrassed… ! …

But there’s no one left to be embarrassed to
anymore.

Well, except myself.

At least I get to make shadow puppets without getting
in trouble anymore.

Oh crap, its over
I better turn on the lights so all the people
can find their way out.

I think I’ll rewind this one again,
it’s a fave of mine.

I don’t know, there’s something about the title,
Gone With The Wind,
that always made me
feel at home?

Oh Richy, there's a lot going on here, I'm a sucker for tear jerkers, except when it's a true story, even worse, when it hits a little too close to home.

Here,  have some popcorn, and a hug and a smooch.
