SCENE Poem by Elmar Kuiper

SCENE



on the Ferris wheel a jilted lover weeps.
on the merry-go-round a blond girl giggles.

"action!"

a bullet supposedly slams into the crybaby.
he bites down on a capsule of blood
to create a dramatic effect.

"action!"

he slurs his rehearsed words.
she doesn't understand him.

the red goo oozes out of his mouth too luridly.
the scene has to be done all over again.
