Sidney Beck Poet Couplet

In the 3 - D Movie Theatre

IN   THE   3-D  MOVIE  THEATRE

In the thick warm darkness

Like rows of fishes moveless

Netted on the bottom of the black seas

Trapped in red velvet seats flipping down with ease

And fighting for elbow room lest

We lose our place on the arm rest

In mouthopen awe at the screen bright

Making seeming day from our night

Until the moment of freedom

Seat flipping will clear the net’s  thralldom

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 


Anyone who has seen the photos of vast 3-D  cinema audiences
in the 1950 s wearing the paper eyeglasses  will know 
what this poem is about.
