I went to the movies

I went to the movies

but I didn't see

anybody 

who looked like me

the actors were good looking

no one was a slob

I guess being good looking

is the main part of their job

I went to the movies

to see other folks

fall in love

and tell each other jokes

perfect bodies

and perfect health

and not a single person

like myself

          where am I on the big screen?

          am I a bad example of a human being?

I went to the movies

but you were not there

I couldn't find you

you could be anywhere

or maybe you're perfect

and just taking a break

or maybe you figured out

I was just a mistake

I went to the movies

I could not be found

on the silver screen

being Hollywood bound

so here I will stay

without a friend or a lover

waiting in vain

to be discovered
