Movie People it’s not a set. it’s just a bed in a room. there’s no bounced light to shimmer in our faces. and no make-up to soften our ages. we might speak like every breath is soaked in subtext, but it’s not. we make a scene because we want a theatrical release. we’re trying to think ourselves up. it feels like the walls grew a hundred feet tall and it looks like we’re stuck down a dry well trying to think ourselves up. it’s not wrong or right. there’s no auteur’s allegory we’re framed inside. that’s absurd – as if real life had anything to do with what anyone deserved. we might buy these acts of change and growth, but anything ever-after sells out both. we’re not movie people. we’re not movie people. we're not movie people. but you and i have got all night because real life takes a long, long time.
