life is but a movie...

Stood still in the middle of town

Where can I go to get out?

Hop on the next bus hoping to find ocean waves

Fluttering eyelids over passing sunspots

A beautiful newly she sat in front of me

Her legs up on the chair

Long burned hair trailing behind the seat

We both looked left to the woman on the street

She bent over to put out her cigarette

Ash out the light and put it in her jean pocket

I wondered if we watched her the same way

If we noticed together silently

The way strangers can become a we

Pulled off to get lost

A magic shop

Glass figurines

I remember a mini duck I had as a kid

Sat on a shelf and I loved to look

An old man hurriedly picked between push pens

$2 and $2.50 tacked to cardboard

Took a walk to the park

A boy dressed in a red button up and black vest

Began to walk in front of me with his ukulele

Signing about love

Accidentally going the same way

I followed our shared direction

Until I turned to the tree grove

Then a girl called out in hand with her lover,

"Beware, it's dark in there!" 

I laughed and felt the cool

Took me back to times of pretend

Playing in fairy land

Walked for miles

Talked to the trees

Found a straw hat

Dancing outside of me

Life is but a movie
