24 Frames a Second
*********************

Tonight I hosted
a film debut party- mine
a short project
of my friends music
set to my footage
all tarted up to mak a story

I invited everyone who was involved
in the production- actors',camerapersons
sound followers, editor, title maker
and anyone who did us any favours
along the way
them and their significant others
leslie hosted the evening
because she has the largest cleanest place
hers is not a messy boys art place
and she has an expresso machine
& more than three cups
and heck, these all match
and somebody brought some
oven fresh first edition
well crafted gingerbread people
with real frosting and smarties
they were actually good and we said so
as so much Christmas baking is crap
when you really think about it.
Mince meat tarts for instance
qualify as hard core food porn

My new movie was well received
everybody howled at the funny parts
tapped along at the musical parts
gasped at the drama parts
snickered when the villain did wrong
went Woe !
at the heros as they suffered
for being well meaning idiots
and applauded wildly
when they saw their name
roll by on the credits

Lights came on and everybody looked satisfied
with their part and how it all came together into one smooth flowing film
as pro looking as anything on the tube
we may be assholes
but we work hard
and well together

Small town life has its setbacks
as far as facilities are concerned
but is exceptionally rich in humanity
goodwill and big dreaming

Then we heard a whole bunch of new music
the musicians had been working on
it was so beautiful that
the coffee went cold
as we listened intently
to every tone phrase and audio wiggle

We are certainly rich in talent
and ability in downtown Dorkville
Culture is what you do
not what you line up to see
like, who needs the big-time
when we have such a good-time
in this armpit of the world ?

The whole idea is to shape art from nothing
then impact on your friends hearts
and that we did.
So now we can all die satisfied
but actually, I prefer to live to try again

nothing like a high-end Gingerbread man
to let you know all is well in the world
too bad about the coffee getting cold
what did you expect?
this isn't a restaurant you know
