I want to watch a movie

I want to lose myself
Just for awhile

Suspend my thoughts
and feelings

Only for a few hours

A simple escape



Now it feels like work



World around me
The movie

Real special effects

Makes it hard
to enjoy a moment,
simple moment
of imagination

This is really nice, I love the choppy lines and "random" spacing, they really help the feeling of the poem match how interrupted your speaker feels.

Thank you. The speaker was me.

Well, yes, I can believe that -- what I meant was the "speaker" as in how a lit critic would use the word in a criticism/description. But again, the feel of the poem is awesome.

No problems! I am a bit unconventional. Tossed the standards a while after I started writing! I just write.
