Frankfurt Cinema

FADE IN – THE GERMAN COUNTRYSIDE

Lots of green
manicured farms 
a distant train
carves the earth
from yellow sky

INTERIOR – THIRD CLASS COMPARTMENT

Door slides open
conductor grunts
guten morgen
I show my passport
my yellow star

EXTERIOR – FRANKFURT TRAIN STATION

A telephone booth
a travel guide
no rooms till noon
open next door
a cinéma bleu

INTERIOR – CINEMA

on screen, a scream
blonde hair in a wrist
in cabaret booths
in clouds, quiet men
men, quiet men
