Went to a movie last night
because I thought about you.
Maybe I imagined
you in the audience
thinking about us
how we both lived a secret life
always questioning love.
~
Went to a movie last night
about imagining lives
the title made me nervous
an immediacy I would not wish
not want upon anyone
only a movie
only a movie
kept saying to myself …
~
Over and over again
sometimes we forget the important
scenes
will help tie our lives together.
This reality sometimes played out
like a moment on the silver screen.
~
Only a movie
only a movie,
because that’s how the credits scream.
