Like a tap
Filling a bucket
And emptying at the same rate
In the words of Godard
Invasion of images on a blank screen
Flicker out for the next
Brightly lit
Dimly lit
Unfolding vision of its creator
Narrating tales of Love, Lust,
Injustices and feel good
Embedded within Frames
And a repertoire of camera techniques -
Jump cut, Dolby, Slow Mo, Swipes,
Long Exposure, Tracking, Pan and Close Ups
Some succeed to become popular
Some fade into obscurity, while
Some enter into pages of celluloid history.
