Impressionable Experiences

Seeking The Inner Spirit

"At The Movies"

1996

I've spent all my life

At the movies alone

In a giant theater all by myself.

Every seat around me is vacant

As the previews are displayed.

I look at them with little interest

Though they are like premonitions

Of the things to come.

As each new movie begins

I long to be a part.

I want to be in the picture

Instead of on the outside

Looking in.

I relate to each character

As if I can feel them

Tears roll down my cheeks

And the end again

All alone in a theater

For a lifetime.
