Not Another Drive-In Movie

'Cause...I don't know, it just came to me while I was supposed to be working. I don't claim to be a poet, either...



Sunlight

Shades of color hidden in benign rays

Like will-o-the-wisps, seen from the corner of the eye

Now you see them, now they’re gone

Fading from view quicker than you can turn your head

Snap your eyes, focus, clarify, imbue it

With coherence or form.



Clouds

I already wrote this once. I swear I did. But when I checked it yesterday…no blog post! Arg! Ah well, take two.

The alley was decked out for families; strobe lights, disco balls, dim lights (which made reading the lanes really hard), and several large projection screens hanging over the alleys.

Being projected onto the screens were music videos. It was clear from the onset that the alley's music v… Continue

Hancock came out yesterday. My boys have been wanting to watch it for months, and the plan was to take them to it when it came out. Which should have been yesterday.

Then I read the local paper's review. Some excerpts: "The laughs stop, the carnage becomes real...and the body count [starts to] rise." "Parents of young moviegoers...should know that this PG-13 feature veers very close to R territory in language and violence." "Few will be laughin… Continue
