Thinking on long
Of the book I might write
It's setting primarily
Deeper darker than night
Protagonist’s will
Cause effect by the hour
With many more flaws
Than the Trellick tower
Thoughts fall further
Onto the film of the book
Financed with some
Sordid cash we mistook
Protagonists now showing
Signs of sanity
A pretty good love interest
An urge to help humanity
When at the end
They hold each other In the rain
Hail a taxi with wet faces
Give the cat a name
I’m thinking far further
Than the book I might write
Reminded of my death
By Roland Barthes
I decide it's too formulaic
Such so I might not start
