Let the film end before intermission
characters be underdeveloped
let the plot lie open like cut veins
and let the the background score
resonate in the hall at its shrill note
It's a broken piece of the heart
cracked into two:
two faces reside here now
on either sides of the chasm.
Make whatever you wish out of it
Sweet or bitter end,
tragedy, comedy or farce
or thriller or horror,
write your own story, make it up.
take any road up the hill
to eternity beyond.

on either sides of the chasm.
Make whatever you wish out of it
Sweet or bitter end,

or thriller or horror,
write your own story, make it up.
take any road up the hill
to eternity beyond.
