Friends, here's a poem I posted on my blog (onewithclay.wordpress.com) and shared on Facebook. Our esteemed and gorgeous colleague suggested I post it here. Its filmic connection is PINOCCHIO.
jiminy enemy
walt disney is responsible for an ersatz second coming
of jesus christ
and the quite real renewed threat
of satan
people with a need not to blaspheme
created new language: one could darn and not damn;
one could visit heck and not hell;
and thus we euphemize the eucharist
�jesus christ!� was defanged
to �jiminy christmas!�
and we saw that it was good
and didn�t hurt
well, along came walt
and with him a big-pale-green-headed waistcoated
mutant offshoot of the family gryllidae
repurposing a wooden boy from pathological liar to honest abelet
�that�s the stuff, pinoc�!� he�d chirp
and victoriously brandish an impossible insect fist
but satan lurked within those innocent cels
with the implication of pulled metastrings
pinocchio could be led by his everlonger nose at will
by a sly fox or his own wannawanna
and so (so the saga goes) it takes another nosegrabber
to steer him to correctness with earwhispered encouragement
darn you, walt
i cannot even daycream [sic[k]] about stuff i�d really rather do
like gettin drunk or profligately laid or bingeing on gamblinfoolery
without your monstrously anthromorphed homunculus buggin me
and i long to be good on my own
by uncoerced choice
chirpless
cricket free
