A City Featuring Lights
seated by the bedside of a
said street...a flower girl hunkers
down a misreading of color, that
claims family to spring's own.
Chaplin fidgets takes--wala, and it's
ramifyingΒ Β light years in black &
white, yin and yang proposing to
one another at the same time.
rumpus of a penguin-footed mage.
production costs haunted by the
obsessive revisitation of a moment in
time, that only the right take could
liberate.
rheumatoid arthritis of bad directions,
as skyscrapers nicked by forwarding
motion.
a car door interrupts soundlessness.
the syllable of a first fold--emitting off a local
screen.
Charlie's obstinacy from the first flit of onscreen
voices.
the flower opens...the flower girl smiles.
more overpoweringly than she weeps.
supposedly confusing Charlie's purchase,
offering change to an unwitting elderly gentleman
that enters a car whose door slams, startling
cinematic history.
too spare for the things she thought she
couldn't see...
as it were, Charlie could not abscond
from the blind flower girl.
he actually fired and rehired the same
actress.
she finally doused him with a flower ***,
as he attempted to sit beside her.
*Inspired by Charlie Chaplin's 1931 film: City Lights
