This Is Why I Love My Job...

Today I had the sincere pleasure of checking out the new Pedro Almodovar movie, VOLVER ,before it comes out in a few months, and I'm still on cloud 9. I nearly had a heart palpitation when Carmen Maura came on screen (it's been way too long since she inhabited an Almodovar character) and Penelope Cruz was fantastic as well (those willing to dismiss her should really check out her Spanish work first). I think it will be coming to Denver sometime in late November so mark your calendars!

And so I took the bait
I wanted so badly to see you
And talk about your problems

It is what we know
And what we trusted each other with
That makes it so hard

As a friend I help
I listen and look for ways out
When the world seems cavernous

As my friend you failed
You chose to evade than stay
When my problem was you

Despite retaining my wisdom teeth
I don't seem to have the smarts
This foolish heart keeps beating

Hungry Hungry Haikus #42

Rather than fight for me
You put your feelings in a bottle
And me inside a box
