I want to be a director
said me at age 14
which was different than me
at age 10 who didn't know
that women could direct
because the image she knew of directors
was a man with a turtle neck
a slight man
with a thoughtful grimace
who shouted at damn actors
aura of mystique
the psychic could see
she was different
she was hazy and purple
se was hard to see
not the crisp clean lines of others
who think she's false
she was the believer
it was beautiful
I loved her once
she disappeared
and took her aura with her
Adapted from the book. The book was so much better. It wasn't even the same story. The lead looks nothing like how he looked in the books. I wish they would release the extended version. I can't even.
temple, where my ancestors probably went. I don't know, they were Jewish. I think about them sometimes. I don't know where they even came from or what their lives were like at all, but I sort of know they were jewish. So they probably went to temple. I mean, my grandparents sort of do, but I want to be really something.
"highly motivated" was written all over my report card. Not "gets excellent test grades" or "excellent attendance." Not excellent, but she tries. She isn't a natural, but I'll give her that.
We are selective here. Only the best and the brightest, but more than that, those who've become bright. You can't just be bright you have to work to be bright. Then you have to be able to do cartwheels and handstands and knit a sweater, but you should also just be a nice wholesome kid.
I don't look people in the eye. Almost never. I like him. On occasion I even look at him. Though generally when some subjects come up, looking in each others vicinity is avoided altogether.
oh my you are so shiny and pretty
but never tangible
because when you are faced in front of the world of color
you fade into your blacks in whites
welcome emperor. We love you. We worship you alone. Be careful though sir, you will be overthrown soon, or your son will. It is the way of emperors, don't be too worried. You might want to hire a man to taste test your food though, in case your brother or son tries to poison you. Long live the king!
