Paradise


To impress this actor at my table
I tell him that the most beautiful movie I ever saw was Paradise Lost
The camera didn't move and everything was black & white
strange as a paradise, no, even stranger

The actor tells me that I probably mean the movie Stranger than Paradise
I concentrate on the sign that says "reserved"
till the letters swim and the world is a stain

The world, my world is getting harder
passion is my way to escape from reality
but I can't express it
that's something for an actor

the actor get's up and leaves
there is a world waiting for him
I stick around for a while
