She\u2019s all cheekbones, lashes, emotions
\nConveyed in rapid succession, practiced.
\nCut to his reaction, the impact on his famous
\nFace, bathed in a warm and flattering light.
\nThen they\u2019re running athletically away,
\nSilhouettes diving before the fireball.
\nThis is living. This is doing something.
\nIt plays on long rows of screens suspended
\nAbove the welded seats, the wall-to-wall,
\nThe strewn paper bags and strewn human forms.
\nSlumped, plump, pursued by a slower fire,
\nNone watch the screens deployed for our relief.
\nWe find darkness in that old space behind our lids,
\nOr gaze out, or stare down at smaller screens
\nWhere more looks and loves, kisses and missiles
\nRemind the living what it looks like to live.<\/p>\n
