The poem in its entirety is shown below, which unfortunately had to be abbreviated to fit the audio-visuals presented here.

Let’s watch a stoopid movie

……please ?

For the wait has been long

With kids and without song

That it wouldn’t hurt to see

Another Adam Sandler to take us out of our misery

It has to be

The stoopidest movie …ever

As stoopid as you and me

With eyes staring , yet not seeing

Within arm’s length yet not reaching

With words for pain to feel

Yet none to heal.

We cross paths

In the skimpy moat of a tiny room

Yet pass each other

Like distant foghorns

In this vacuum sea

I know you not …anymore

Maybe I can find you in the ridiculous laughter

Of “Dumb and Dumber� ..or whatever

And never mind the popcorn or your being polite

The icy silence hangs like a stalactite

Dragged by a string to a kite

That begs to be set free.

Maybe the time will come to confess

After all the laundry and the mess

That it’s your face by the front door I would rather see

Instead of this cell phone glaring at me.

But for now,

Let’s watch a stoopid movie

….Please ?
