Random and surreal poetry satire and short stories.

Reality V Hollywood.

I have never had the feeling of being in a movie. Although in my early days of work as an apprentice I was bullied to such an extent I was borderline paranoid. It was like being in a film set, where everyone was part of a big set up, to bring me down. On a slightly different note, just recently I have noticed many young adults, behaving as if in a movie, using cliched words and mannerisms in there social gatherings, as if I was viewing them through a tunnel into some fictitious American bar or diner.

REALITY V HOLLYWOOD


I don’t like guns and violence, why would I be in a movie?
Where I live the lambs are silent, why would I be in a movie?
I don’t swear, for car chases not a care, why would I be in a movie?
I don’t sleep in Seattle, but then I don’t live there so why would I be in a movie?
I don’t like Bond, I’d rather abscond, than be in one of those movies
I don’t like cowboys and Indians, rather bang my head on obsidian, why would I be in a movie?
I’ve no care for space, aliens can’t face, why would I live in a movie?
Movies condescend, are always pretend, but why would I live in a movie?
I live in a place led by fools, greed and violence rules, I WANT to live in a movie.

Obsidian rock crystal, also a Cardassian intelligence group in the Star Trek universe, one wouldn’t like to bang one’s head against those either.
