ninety minutes of your life you'll never get back

you get stuck
on a bad movie, lured in
by the three
star review.
but it's too late to stop.
you've already
invested
twenty minutes into the so
called
suspenseful
thriller starring a woman,
blonde and
leggy of course,
wearing her daisy duke
shorts.
lost in the woods with two
nefarious
hill men
after her for reasons
one can figure
out by their bearded
and drooling
mouths.
there's blood, of course,
guns and knives,
a dead cell phone,
twisted ankles,
nights curled up
under a log in the cold
mountain air.
throw in a bad sheriff,
a meth lab
and one sympathetic
outlaw,
and there it is.
that's the plot.
thank God for the fast forward
button
on the remote.
