Director’s Cut
A Poem by Erundur Anwamehtar
06/04/2003

I rented “Saturday” from the video store.
It cost a picnic and a few hours of time.
I sent it back to The Past when finished,
but I kept analyzing every facet of plot,
the lines spoken by each character,
and analyzing every angle of development.

Then a phone-call to a friend explained
the outcome. I couldn’t blame
myself for not seeing the ending,
but it’s good to know despite temporal
distaste.

Disappointment is a scratched frame,
the joy to come an endless reel,
regardless of how I feel
now.

We are fortunate the Director
is still
directing.
