Movie Script 38

Painting by Richard Neuman


Movie Script 38

[This is to be a movie without periods.
It is counter to the false stops we impose
On life, and the lies we impose on life
Such as sentence sense. The scenes
Are continuous, moving into one another.
After all these years, we have learned
What Monet meant when he painted
Water lilies without edges.]


A man in finch green is carrying a French horn
The pale tongue pink of the dress on the sidewalk
Is making the sounds of a love bird water signs
The wrong name on the gutter so it can remain
Anonymous until Spring

[Cut, cried the director. I can understand
What is going on. This movie is a fantasy.
It is not like life. Cancel it.]
