Once upon a time
there was a girl
who would die
to dance
one perfect
dance
down the streets of
a ghost-town named MGM,
but in the meantime hides
away in the glimmering
darkness of the church of Loews…
her mind screaming a prayer for
the action packed blockbuster to be lost in the rapture…
then the silver screen would
transform into
the second-coming of Gene Kelly,
and he and the girl
would make song and dance
magic down the sticky aisles,
before fading into
a happily ever after that
looks like sugar and
tastes like salt…
the sweat and tears
of a God who finally
has his children, and
who loves Gene Kelly
as much as she does
