We Picture People

Dark room
With projector glow.
What's the movie?
I don't know.

I'm struck dumb
By hit and run.
The fleeting fame
The bright front row.

Smear your warpaint
Make a wish.
In this pond,
You're a little fish,

Close your eyes
Then go away.
Think hard enough,
And it won't stay.

Up on the screen,
I swear I feel her
Look down on us,
The sea of people.

She spies her house,
The night's veranda.
Would that I could
The extravaganza.

Entire cast has reunited.
A kiss goodbye.
My love requited
Of Barbara Jean.

A scarf reminded,
Left at the scene
And seat
Behind you.
