A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 186

Day 186: “The Movies”

---

We come to this place

To be transported

Another place

Another time

Another version of ourselves

---

We have aspirations

Fears

Laughs

We want to see play out

---

We push the button

Put our feet up

And relax into 2 hours of large-screen hilarity

Or passion

Or terror

Or whatever most excites us

---

We gawk at the previews

Planning our next move

Excited to see what our neighbor deems unwatchable

---

The lights dim

The movie starts

We’ll exit once the sun goes down
