STAR WARS FLICK ON TUBE
Folder:
THRU PERIPHERAL VISION
with a Star Wars flick
on the tube
it gets so
I can’t rationalize
this is just
a pretty good fantasy
but it doesn’t seem
to get much beyond that
hence I just write
down these thoughts
over a couple beers
I won’t wax poetic
or rhapsodic
on the importance
of this moment
I’ll just let it be
as there’s not much else
to be said
When Star Wars premiered in
When Star Wars premiered in 1977, it caused an immediate disagreement between me and the second Great Love of my life. She had written to me while I was still at school, informing me that we WOULD be viewing it as soon after my return home as possible. Ultimately, severe disagreement over the film led to arguments that began to undermine the relationship.
I wish . . . oh how I wish . . . that in those days, I had had enough sense to say, to her, something like the wisdom contained in your poem's last seven lines. That kind of diplomacy would have spared me a lot of frustration and grief. I applaud your poem: the good sense it presents is applicable to far more than just that film.
