"THE SEDUCTION OF CELLULOID" by JTK.CA

If my life were a movie,
Choreographed and clean,
I'd be happy.

If my life were set to music
And Oscar-winning cinematography,
I'd be healthy, wealthy, and lean.

If my life were run by a script,
I'd know my future.

If my life were a movie,
I'd have a fan club of millions
And all my problems would be whitewashed
With a convenient plot.

If my life were a movie,
I'd be at the beck and call of the spin of a reel.
I'd have two hours of life.
Then darkness would envelop me
Until, once again, light would blast through my
Celluloid, transparent skin.

If my life were a movie,
I'd have no future.

I must step beyond the cosmetic cosmos
To be who I truly am;
Accept my faults and foibles
And my struggle against them;
And accept the fact that life is
An unpredictable stretch of decades,
Not a programmed two hours of unrelenting perfection.
