Old Hollywood.

by @trevor-blevins

Your Marilyn Monroe face is coating me in nostalgia. There's old school Hollywood appeal about you that's keeping me still and set in my ways, because how could I be mobile looking at the iconic images of you? For you gave me refuge from my purgatory, I'm stuck here in my bedroom, your scenes each carefully curated by Billy Wilder or God... I've heard you're a dying breed but you're so full of life and charisma. Oh, I know it's hopeless, But it's been remastered time and again, 1080p being the latest format to get my heart racing, Letting your DVD spin to the point of exhaustion. It's very consequential and I'm still betting on this, I can't take your word as gospel when I feel you in my ribs... I'm painfully asthmatic and respiring on your sighs.
