Poetry: "In a World"

Poetry: "In a World" Note: Perhaps a Parallel World, very similar to but not necessarily our own.

In a world where God is Dead

And Bed Bugs bite you in your bed

And mold gets on your Daily Bread

And bullies beat you for Street Cred

Young people die, their parents' dread

And you get fired by a guy named Ed

Who answers to a guy named Fred

And Nazis kill with bursts of lead

And the girls you love have all been wed...

Poetry: "Going Medieval"

I am just a peasant.

My life's not very pleasant.

If I'm lucky once a year

I get to dine on pheasant... (tbc?)

Update: "Eulogy of a Small Theater" Part 3

I recently found out that the Sharon Community Theater 1-8 in the Shaw's Plaza on South Main Street in Sharon, Massachusetts isn't going to close after all. However, with competition from Patriot Place Cinema Deluxe (less that 5 miles away), Legacy Place Cinema Deluxe (less than 15 miles away), and other area cinemas, it may just be a matter of time before it does close. That is unless its loyal patrons and others who rarely or never go there continue to or start attending on a regular basis.

Poetry: "Chatham Shark Sighting"

Poetry: "Chatham Shark Sighting" A work in progress

In waters off of Chatham

I saw a Great White Shark

Then I quickly swam ashore

And drove to Fenway Park

I was lucky that the toothy fish

Didn't mistake me for a seal

For if it did I'd likely be its next and latest meal... (tbc?)

Poetry: "Airport Run" A work in progress

Poetry: "Airport Run" A work in progress

T.F. Green(e) or Logan

SST or Jet

That the airport will be crowded

Is an almost certain bet.

Baggage fees and patdowns

Late or overbooked flights

Traveling to the airport

Is an ordeal any night.

Lost baggage or flight diversions

Terrorists or jerks

Is it really worthwhile

For frequent flier perks.

Traffic and pollution

Ruthless State Police

It's really inconvenient

Renting cars to fly to Greece... (tbc?)

Update: "Eulogy of a Small Theater"

Several weeks ago I reported that the Sharon Cinemas 8 in Sharon, Massachusetts was "closing forever" in late June. Here it is July and the theater is still open. I didn't find out for sure, but rumor has it that the cinema is closing some time in July. If you live near Sharon, if enough people attend perhaps they may reconsider closing.

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Super 8"

Sci-Fi Bri's Movies: "Super 8"

Dir.: J.J. (TV's "Alias", "Lost",etc.) Abrams Characters/Actors: Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney), Alice (Elle [Dakota's sister] Fanning), Jackson Lamb (Kyle [TV's "Friday Night Lights"] Chandler), Nelec (Noah Emmerich), etc.

In the summer of 1979 in the town of Lillian, Ohio, four schoolboys and a girl several of them have a crush on film a zombie movie to try to win a prize near a train station. While filming, a pickup truck on the tracks derails an oncoming train and causes a massive explosion and mayhem. The children stumble across a government and military secret that could get them killed for knowing too much. Before long a contingent of military personnel with berets and rifles take over the town and round up the inhabitants. Perhaps an homage to movies from the eighties like "E.T" made by the producer of this film Steven Spielberg. There is a lot of explosions, unexplained creatures, and mysterious happenings to satisfy the urge to escape from the real world for a couple hours in an air conditioned theater on a hot summer day. I expect that this will do well.
