Panoramic one click,
portrait?
buy before it's too late
film not included.

How quaint it ain't.

Hollywood ***** the shine from the stars
and spits them out in cheap bars to
sit and romance the idea that once they
were great.

But it was always the sidewalk and the way
that the boys stood and spit while they
talked their big deeds.

Joe in the milk bar built the underground railway
to spirit the stars from the studio lot, but he never
made sergeant in the US marine corp
because he was too fond of the growing
and the smoking of ***.

And we all took those colour Polaroids
to sit by our bedsides and remind us
how easy this life had become.

Panorama,
the one click sick serialized drama,
a portrait of us as
we were.
