A three year-old
Seeing a cat
Now, excited, rushes
To pick it up
·
He learns
Quickly, though not fully
The meaning of the word
Retaliation
·
Though the warmth that pours from his eyes
And runs down his arms
Are different
He can't yet tell them apart

Delicious Nightmares
There is nothing novel in the observation that a good cinema experience is akin to a waking dream. We sit in darkness and become enveloped in a world of images that we piece together to form a narrative. Sometimes the images overpower us and we struggle with the paralysis of a nightmare. And then the lights come back up and we take a breath to remember it was not real, we were not in that car crash, we were not in a fight, we were not a lover being romanced. And we need a moment between the last credit and the real world to gather our thoughts to find meaning in what we have seen.
