Academy Awards



You are a film,
Dubbed in French,
With Spanish subtitles,
And I speak only this
American techno-jargon.
Still,
You’ve got pretty visuals:
A special effects budget
That makes the boys sweat,
And I can at least divulge your tone
From the rhythm and sway
Of your orchestrated score.
Look for me in your credits:
I’ll be listed under
Dumbfounded Moron Without
A Word To Say.

Can't really say I have seen that in the credits of any movie Tongue

Hm.

I like the opening and the overall idea, though the ending once more makes me question the view I took to it with. Declaring that his name would be in her credits implies a certain amount of involvement with her that simply watching a foreign film doesn't have. The implied intimacy doesn't work well with the distance I thought was built with the opening lines.

An interesting idea though.
