The Movie

“The movie will begin in five moments,” the mindless voice announced.

“All those unseated will await the next show.”

We filed slowly, languidly, into the hall.
The auditorium was vast and silent.
As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued:

“The programme for this evening is not new, you’ve seen this entertainment through and through; you’ve seen your birth, your life and death, you might recall all of the rest. Did you have a good world when you died? Enough to base a movie on?”

Jim Morrison, 1967 (?)
