Motion Pictures

Movies, films, the cinema:

Art of, for, and from our time…

Images that change-in-time,

(Move, meld, shock, surprise), that may

Well arouse, inflame, inform

Only the senses– ignore

Mind and reason, logic.  For

Our eyes, ears, alive with time

Live entirely between past,

Future…imagination.

Reason and then reflection

Come only after the rest

Fades.  We are what we recall.

We know more than we can tell.
