“If It Rained” and “Everybody In This Movie Is Dead”

By Fran LeMoine

If It Rained

If it rained

haikus

printed on

origami birds,

you still would not read them.

 

 

Everybody in This Movie is Dead

Being here with you now,

it's just like watching old movies.

I watch "Potemkin" and I say,

"Everybody in this movie is dead!"

I'd go home if I wasn't already there.
