Watch This Movie Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I care about these people.
That's why I can say I like it.

I care about them...
And their display of a 'through thick and thin',
Economic slimness done.
I like the way they handle it.
And the joy expressed by everyone.

Even their next door neighbors...
Seem for them to be the best of friends,
I like how they all participate...
With a display of caring,
That appears to me to be genuine.

I care about these people.
Even their dogs and cats.
Look at the birds and butterflies...
Don't they seem to have sparkle in their eyes?

The crispness of the clouds...
Appear to float in skies of blue.
The mixture of the races too,
All have...

'If you say another thing...
I swear to you I am going to go 'off'!
Close your mouth and silence your lips.'

Excuse me?
Nobody's talking to you!

'Nobody should be talking 'period'.
I paid fourty eight dollars for my family and I
To watch this movie.

Can we hear it?
NO!
Can we enjoy it...
NO!
And you know WHY DAMNIT?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING...
THROUGH THE WHOLE THING!

SO SHUT UP SO WE CAN ENJOY IT...
OR ELSE! '

Okay, okay, okay!
But put the gun away.
I get the picture.

~Sir,
We are going to have to ask you to leave.
The police have been called.
And you have created quite a disturbance here! ~

'ME? ME?
What about him? '

~Sir...
He is not the one screaming,
With a gun in his hand!
Please...
Leave.~

That's exactly why I don't go to movies like I use to.
People think they can do anything and get away with it!

Well,
Anyway...
I care about these people.
That's why I can say I like it.

I care about them...
And their display of a 'through thick and thin',
Economic slimness done.
I like the way they handle it.
And the joy expressed by everyone.
