Films feature unsmall histories;
    fancy yourself a star, but
can you be if all others are also?

Impossible.

Wretches, golden boys, diamond girls
   congregate, walking over long-
   eclipsed shades marked by sunken ideograms.

Thousand story souls hold parallel intersects –
   all imperfect, and none as weighty as first
   thought.

Bits are rusted by unexpected sneers –
   rude unwrapped.  Wounding.

When shadows pervade and flit
   past mirrors, we all reflect
   the boisterous grief of being no more
   than a fishwife – droll on screen but
   lurid in the flesh.

Hypnotic half-truths engage the viewers.

The screenwriter should be fired.
