Distraction Poem by Edwina Reizer

Waiting at the movies
for the picture show to start.
Anticipating another escape
where I don't have a part.
I lose nyself to the silver screen
and forget about all my woes.
And for two hours, give or take
all of my trouble goes.
The smell of popcorn
fills the air
and once again
I have no care.
The diversion that's in front of me
is the perfect remedy.
It allows my mind to take a break.
It's better than eating chocolate cake.
I'm so engrossed I must admit
and this time I have to thank Brad Pitt.
Give me a movie any day
where I don't have a part to play.
