I dare say my best work comes on the drive home.  
In deep reverie I conjure up a dragon flying beside my truck.
I see the sky as the ocean above.
The river I pass over on the way home is made of stars and planets not water..
WAIT!  I don't remember passing over the river!  *** im already in town.    Lol!  Be careful out there folks!
In to deep of thought so much passes by without you noticing. Be careful..

There are no stricter terms
of life’s laws led by the infirm
then what fools feel they earned.

Taking in turn while good men burn
entitled ****** pick through
the littered landscapes
of those who time has made cruel.
Till, all tools are made fools
and the vain fall to the valiant and wise
and the greedy tumble before the well advised.

Those humbled by truth and knowledge
knowing when to take advice
and when they should rise
above the follies of the unimaginative masses.

There is a certain devil in my eyes
a twinkling trickster who despises
all pomp and proper posers who lie
to gain the affection of the less informed.

There is a puckish knave who raves
to undue the chains of those enslaved
by creative play and poetry
by active explorations of prose and nobility.

I know such endeavors are things of futility
for if they knew my form of Anansi
silk spinning spider
or my formidable four legged figure of coyote
who runs under the Nordic name of Loki,

I am certain they would try to lightning fry me.
Instead, I buy some time masking my mind
tapping out binary bridges of ones and zeroes
with mythic folk and fairytales to educate
my elves who have lost
their pointed ears and no longer hear
the sound of nature’s truth
concealed in their very flesh.

A good movie, book, or painting will help us step outside ourselves.
It will loosen the emotional constipation this digital age has contributed to, breaking down the wall we built up so well by poking holes in our flesh till our hearts bleed sympathy, sorrow, anger, or whatever flood waters we were holding back.

All that said here are some good ones.
"Fences" Just watched it. I read the play along time ago but their is nothing like seeing something writing to make it more potent.

"What Dreams May Come"
"Patch Adams"
"Dead Poets Society"
"Bicentennial Man"
