The Movies

 I would like to watch a movie tonight in which a stranger rides into town
or where someone embarks on a long journey, a movie with the promise of danger,
danger visited upon the citizens of the town by the stranger who rides in,
or the danger that will befall the person on his or her long hazardous journey it hardly matters to me so long as I am not in danger, and not much danger lies in watching a movie, you might as well agree. I would prefer to watch this movie at home ' than walk out in the cold to a theater and stand on line for a ticket.
I want to watch it lying down with the bed hitched up to the television
the way they’d hitch up a stagecoach to a team of horses so the movie could pull me along the crooked, dusty road of its adventures.
