don't really know why except that I love movies.
always have, ever since I was a kid.
I escaped the evil of home life,
and lived in these lands.
the Oscars are on Sunday,
and while I am traveling,
I still want to watch them,
but my buddies are making fun of me,
saying snobby shit about Hollywood snobbery.
I don't care, because
there is still a little kid in me
that loves movies,
and each year I try to watch
all the Best Picture nominees,
even though this year I fell short.
so this Sunday, you will find me
on a couch somewhere, with beer
and cliche popcorn, rooting for Sam Rockwell
and women and people of color,
dressed in their finery, imagining
what I would say in an acceptance speech.
