staying home

they've let
the old theater go to hell.
nobody comes
anymore.
the popcorn and candy
counter
is closed.
the once
proud
jewel on main
street
is falling down.
the last show
is over.
the curtains
drawn.
the elderly are weeping.
they remember
Saturday
nights
and the golden age
of Hollywood,
the stars
who've passed on.
why go out anymore
when everything
can be watched at home
while staring
into your phone.
