Hollywood Ending

What was she thinking
with those horse apple eyes
Sure, He had the say-it-all-smile
the fluttery lashes
he musta been beaten on the schoolyard for
an I was hoping they'd get back together
fom the moment they kissed
and she said
''We can't do this"
I almost cried-
you know I had the right.
After all its a Hollywood Ending
when sudden time passes
where everything's great
the two heroes
eyes closed
relaxing on a bench
in a park, on a hollywood set
As the little boy with the bruises he'll never get
chases his red haired sister
the one who will grow up heavy set and look nothing like her mom
What a happy life
as the credits roll
I sleep sound  
and all's quiet on the set

Walt,
Roll the credits...

I give credit to you for your talent
and for the way you string words together on a pearlescent stand
and for the make you make the picture flow
and for your great direction

All in all this piece is a credit to you.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
