I sat down in God's movie house (Freud showed me my seat) and for the hundred years that I lived I sat through a hundred years of my movie Oh god the recurrent masturbation scenes were a torture The rest of it was nonsense and surprise with some very touching scenes which I should have written into a book When I finished seeing the movie I was tested. oh so small was my recall There were so many actors in my movie I asked if I could watch their movies too But so much would be boredom that I changed my mind. I didn’t dare look at my loved ones' movies for fear of pain so I retuned to earth to make more of the same.
Irwin R. Shaw - May 27th 1986
I sat down in God's movie house
(Freud showed me my seat)
and for the hundred years that I lived
I sat through a hundred years of my movie
Oh god the recurrent masturbation scenes
were a torture
The rest of it was nonsense and surprise
with some very touching scenes
which I should have written into a book
When I finished seeing the movie
I was tested.
oh so small was my recall
There were so many actors in my movie
I asked if I could watch their movies too
But so much would be boredom
that I changed my mind.
I didn’t dare look at my loved ones'
movies
for fear of pain
so I retuned to earth
to make more of the same.
