Dreaming in Technicolor
Ask the night to recall for you
the lives you (should have) led—
our truest selves revealed
in secret screening rooms
soundproofed, plastic-lined…
Wandering narrative threads
certain faces recurring
for the sake of continuity
Soft-focused, abstract
“a goddamn art film!”
too inscrutable to decipher
the punters clamoring
for a refund
C. Burns
