A poem to the cinema

The Silence

 

The stage is set

Wherever you were before, no longer exists

 

Music plays in the background before the lights dim down

People arrive, in different shapes and sizes

 

There is a short moment of silence as the lights goes down

Light beams, showcasing millions of dust particles in the air

 

Like being transported to another world, you are about to witness something extremely special

 

The image is large, the picture is crisp

The vision of scratches, the sound of crackling in between adverts

 

Feature presentation

 

When I’m not there, I miss it, the enclosed box of escape

Where everything makes sense
