Not like the movies

driving down the edge

the gap between mankind

doesn’t give me a high,
doesn’t fill my heart with excitement,
doesn’t feel like in the movies

looking at the abundant blue
i am powerless

powerless to the overwhelming feeling
the neverending salty mysteries
that overflow my imagination
with infinite frightening thoughts
that are replicas
of the godly distance it smothers

too me
it’s not a sunset drive,
perfect ending,
to a happy story,

producers got it wrong
forgot the ugly truth
rewind and rewrite.
