Box Office Heroes: Reflections on Hollywood Myths

	All Hollywood heroes
	eventually get stuck up
	in the assholes of imagi
	nation and dark h
	oles of his
	tory . . . Meaning
	is not import 
	ant – only
	sales receipts . . .

	If that isn't clear
	stuff this po
	em & gawk
	at the silence
	ah blank screens
	blank minds
	blank dreams
	waiting
	for the next schedu
	led performance
	to be gin.


Terri: 	Lot's ah anger here.

Ted: 	Yeah, I'm tired ah reading 'bout how screwed up our planet is.

Kris: 	Agreed. It makes me want to either medicate or meditate.

Tim: 	There is a beauty in the monstrosity: this is the paradox of America.
