Things we do and don't understand
knowing things don't go as planned.

Who was that man?
what was his name?
born in London,
ah
Michael Caine.

Sits with Duvall
and shoots at salesmen
until the aeroplane arrives and
opens up more of the skies.

hides money in the cellar
lucky fellas and
got it from some Caliph or
a Sultan that they saved
and the lion roars
old age bored them so they tore then
up the rule book.

I watch these screens go by on
the reels that spin in my minds eye
and wonder why the lion died,

did the writer think that I would blink
and miss the kick
feeling sick about that twist
it was though
a good film.
