memories, movies, music

on memories
hold on the the memories
while they still can slip in and before they slip out
hold on tight before they are a bit too far to find for your fingertips
you can barely remember faces
only voices and they weave in and out
state of unconsciousness
state of craze ; state of mind .

on movies
every time i watch a movie with my family
flicker of lights on repeating faces defects
more talk comes from the couches than the tube
" i love special effects, of course this doesn't happen
in real life, but you know, the special effects are good "
shhh , dad just watch the movie we know
" guys, what's happening? oh! i get it .. wait, if he's
the father, then who's the son? wait.. what? i don't get it "
shhh , mom just watch the movie you'll get it
" I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT !
BE PREPARED ! I KNOW IT ! I WON'T TELL YOU ! "
shhh , josh just watch the movie we know you know
and yet i talk the most of all .

on music
it's a flow of words in another language
it's angry and sweet tastes of tangerines
on a winter snowfall and melon slices
on a summer pinic and it just works
speaks to you no matter who
where what you are .
and all you have to do is scream along with them .
