Regina

Voice bursting through the speakers like a motorway
Your Norma-Jean-Smirk

Lips the red of speeding buses

I turn towards you like an Einstein,
Hair perfectly mad


Well, a Boris Karloff playing Einstein dressed in a tutu


The cinema with its penetrating darts of silk;
Forces the image of an actor to dance upon your cheek

My eyes smother your face as if it were an epic
You shake off the stare with a shrug

But I am watching you for the very first time
