black and white

i prefer a black and white movie.
one where you
can almost
hear the chatter
of the reel

as the light streams
out of the box high above.

an old
film

from the forties, or fifties.
with real

stars.
actors with names like
flynn

or garbo.
cagney or bogart.

eva and audrey.
movies with intelligent plots.

where the hero wins.
the villain dies,

a love story perhaps, that
ends
sweetly,

one that breaks your
heart,
one that makes you cry.

or one that when you
leave the theater

makes you feel as if
even you can fly.
