Poem of the Day 01.13.23

the black heart of the cinema

the villains victorious
the bad guys won

and all i can do
is watch the little punks
who threw a bottle of soda
at me and my wife

run out of the theater
unscathed

while my helpless heroine
cleans sticky goo off of her jacket

and the credits roll
on this disaster film
of an afternoon.
