Candy Glass
Not frozen liquid but amorphous
formed in sheets and glasses, tense, awaiting
its big scene. Quick, quick before
moisture turns show-biz brittleness
into sweet, sagging bubble-film.
Action! See movie-glass
love-cutting sharp
whiskey-bottle hard
worth life and death, blood-drawing
all portrayed by candy glass that
raindrops would melt
tears turn to taffy
and a kiss destroy.
After its big scene, faux shards
lie on the floor around chalk blocking-marks
turning slowly to sweet sticky syrup.
Unless swept up it turns to nutrient
for flies, bacteria. Real life infinitely
more complex than any movie plot
begins to live on dreams.
