Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Watching

i gave up
reading
after years
of intensive
university 
had to read
readings
from Tagore
to Alban

so now
i watch
movies
some
campy
others
master 
pieces
so recently

i found
a japanese
film from
way back
on a list
that i keep
in my 
back
pocket

so i
pop
some
pop
corn
always
adding
parmesan
cheese and

i 
sit
down
and start
to watch
not believing
all the actors
and actresses
are speaking in

japanese
so now
i have
to read
subtitles
sending me
back to university
where now i find
i have to read a movie
