Distillery Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Distillery

He called and once again
-asked for time
-to delay or negate
-our meeting of today
-needs to work, earn money
-in downtown, Distillery
He is not what he seems
-a teacher who is in
-chest of gold, treasure
-editor, full, aware

We are wrong to see, judge
-the book by its cover

His earning is not much
-never was…
School takes the big bite
-not T, J nor B, K
-neither does W; a recent
-none of them
-none, none, none
They teach since they have tongue
-that is it, full stop
Nobody from them, even one
-could or can do good job
-no movie for prize
This is how they live life
-run here and run there
-fix the lens and shutter,
-set the light, hold grip
-boom, shot-gun, lavaliere
-or arrange speakers
Hollywood, festivals of movies
-are grand in name, fame
-everyone speaks but
-empty are drums
-looks are nice and dress
-pageant walk, red carpet
-of schools, Canada's
-not even one percent
-finds luck in cinema
