Writing and Movies

Writing and movies

In my mind exist, people, I have not met
they are a friendly lot not giving to dispense advice 
points to me to write that floats into my mind 
even if it is not deeply intellectual.
Trash is the weed of writing, without it how else
can a movie be made?
Look what happened to Hemingway´s book of a poor fisher
who caught a big fish only to have it eaten by a shark?
They made a movie out of the book
an overweight actor got the job.
Trash, seen and admired by millions.
Take Dan Brown, he is the trashiest writer I know
the movie industry does him a favour making
his books into movies seen by millions of adoring fans.
The people in my head only point the anomaly out
not for them to be critical.
