"The Magic of Cinema"

the projectionist put the second
reel on backwards
and then fell asleep
and now birds
are flying upside down
and backwards
across what must have once been
the white sky
it all makes sense though somehow
at midnight
in this abandoned movie house
with the projectionist
sure that his life is falling apart
and nobody
except the homely ticket girl
out there in the dark
weeping
in the last row
--Denver Butson


"Finis"

Now it's over, and now it's done;
Why does everything look the same?
Just as bright, the unheeding sun,--
Can't it see that the parting came?
People hurry and work and swear,
Laugh and grumble and die and wed,
Ponder what they will eat and wear,--
Don't they know that our love is dead?

Just as busy, the crowded street;
Cars and wagons go rolling on,
Children chuckle, and lovers meet,--
Don't they know that our love is gone?
No one pauses to pay a tear;
None walks slow, for the love that's through,--
I might mention, my recent dear,
I've reverted to normal, too.
--Dorothy Parker
