Fun at the movies

Movie displays can often be amusing. Last week, when Mishu and I went to the movies, I couldn’t resist posing behind the Mall Cop display. I sometimes forget I’m 28.

No one’s dying anytime soon

Footsteps, misteps, falling

debris.

I seek shelter from gospel

choirs.

The politics of truth

gang up on me,

they’re not my truths

not my policies.

Bullets stray, voices are raised

guilty parties whose names

are named.

You speak of mortality, joy and I listen.

Yet, I’m afraid.
