Thanks Todd and Bilbo for your great feedback and kind words. I'll move "that" down a line in the third verse. I'll also change "blockbuster films" to "box office hits." This poem was partly inspired by Roger Ebert's review of the 1998 film Godzilla, in which he talked about how rain and darkness are used to obscure special effects.
"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
