loved the book

it's a bad movie.
you loved the book,
read it twice,
you keep it on your nightstand.
you imagined
each character to look
and be a certain
way.
you bought the ticket,
the popcorn,
sat down
in the darkened theater
and waited
for the story to unfold.
it didn't.
who were these people
these actors
filling in for
the ones you created
in your mind.
the music was all wrong,
the plot
thinned,
the ending too long.
