I am watching a red curtain rise Ever so slowly The whitewashed screen Which soon will ring And glitter With Hollywood scenes of life With scenes That are not mine And dreams That are not mine, and so here and now I shall journey away from myself For two hours And pay harshly Afterwards Fir my devils Are not ones That can tolerate Being so longly Ignored.
Irwin R. Shaw - May 3rd 1982
I am watching a red curtain rise
Ever so slowly
The whitewashed screen
Which soon will ring
And glitter
With Hollywood scenes of life
With scenes
That are not mine
And dreams
That are not mine, and so here and now
I shall journey away from myself
For two hours
And pay harshly
Afterwards
Fir my devils
Are not ones
That can tolerate
Being so longly
Ignored.
