A prosetry construct of a surreal video poem.

Screenpoem Pitch

Screenpoem Pitch
by Odin Roark


Night
Empty wet ghost town street
Work lights spotted
Tumble weed shadows
Like vehement crusted webs
Gila monster stares vacant
Fat lady carries midget man to bed

Lions sleep
Elephants sway trunks
Phillip Glass sounds undulate

Horses prick ears
3 legged cat wails
Cat turns into old woman
Tumbleweed shadows chase woman

House trailer bathed in pink light
Fat lady steps in
Crazy mirror makes fat lady thin
Young
Crazier than old
Old woman changes into trapeze bikini

Lion tamer and young old lady kiss
3 legged cat scurries under bed
Lion tamer drops to knees
Pleads his love
Snaps whip
Cat hisses

Distant lightning

Trailer pink turns blue
Thunder rocks trailer
Rain washes trailer away

Old woman
Fat again
Walks in desolate rain
Swirls cotton candy around tongue

3 legged cat jumps in lion cage
Stares at lion
Missing leg scratches ear
Dreaming
Purring
Lion growling

Quiet

Oh so...

Quiet

Fade out
