when a filmmaker's dreams are like poems...

"i am running down a street.

i am wearing a silvered business suit.

it is not i.

the figure is stopped mid-stride, one arm flung out.

the street vanishes.

-----

the word 'title' is flung at me off five white gloved fingers backed by a vague clown face.

-----

something of dead leaves... a rustling.

-----

a waiting - expectancy.
a sea-scape.
large people with smashed faces bending over.

-----

a paw print - one toe bent in cashew curl... so that it reminds me of a flower petal.

-----

a quarter-turn clockwise of multicolored basket shapes merry-go-rounding - reds, blues, yellows, and more distant blurs of other shades. dusty-yellowed browns for ground, and a pale blue clouded sky. a very few still silhouettes of people shape."
