I'm A Movie

I'm A Movie
If they made a movie of my life
it would win the Academy Award
it has everything the box-office wants
failure, triumph, dope, sex, and violins
laughs and hopes bereft and hopes fulfilled
friendship, conflict, love and loneliness
pleasure and suffering, slap-stick and tragedy.
I've had lovers, shovers, allies and enemies
I've been rich and poor, proud and humble
I've danced and I've stumbled, fallen and flown
Who wants a train when you can have a roller coaster?
I've been nigger rich, nigger famous and nigger beautiful
these things pass frame by frame like a movie
I thought I felt the finger of god one night
it was on my thigh and then on my temple caressing the thoughts
creating memories that never happened
If they made a movie of my life
it would take the Sundance Festival by storm
that's because, it would be a little movie
filled with charming characters, insanity and rapture
a twisty plot-line and shaky photography.
It would have flash-backs and dream sequences
the narrative would be exploded
they would play it in seedy little art houses at midnight
and it would develop a cult following
I just know it would
after all, I wrote it.
Get it on DVD
the credits last longer than the film
What kind of movie would your life be?

First off, it's great to see you writing poetry again! I haven't read any poetry of yours for quite some time!
I'm not too hip on the use of the derogatory term here, though I do realize you're using it as an adjective and this is probably some kind of street/prison lingo which I'm just not familiar with.
I hope nobody gets offended!
I'll be back with my poem called "If My Life Were a Movie."
I haven't written it yet.

A nigger aint nothing but a Jew turned insideout
I have always felt uncomfortable when a black man used the term nigger to me. The last time somebody called me a nigger he hit me upside the head with a 2 by 4.
After he got done calling me nigger Niger NIGER three times I made my second mistake. I turned my back on him. I was a lot tougher back then, i stayed on my feet, ain't I a good christian jewboy, i turned the other cheek, but I picked up a piece of 2 by four and we had a stand off. Oh well.
I don't know clay only a couple of people here I worry about, dav the the dov he hates the N word. I never use it anymore. When I write it i usualy just go n*gger, so I don't step on dav's toes.

Clay I suppose it is just not the word, it is the phrase, n*gger rich, it is so derogetory, I used to get squirmy when i woudlsee stereotypical stuff about brooklyn as the stereo typical money grubbing jew.
Yeah not to put words in her mouth i think it is the phrase not the word. Seems like any word good enough for mark twain ought ot be still be good enough for me. I just used the word five or six times in the previous post and I am not offfenced at all. What about you?

I was left behind in east baltiomore we did not make the exodus to the affluent new ghetto on the north west side of the city. , Crazy Mike was broke three kids and one more on the way. . Our house at caroline st and eastern ave was right on the dividing line between the black ghetto and little italy. I grew up with black kids but baltimore schools not integrated until 1954. The summer of brown v topeaka, the summer I swung on that baltimore cop, missed his nose by a pubic hair but knocked his sun glasses off. He was an artiste with the knight stick,, not those knew space age batons they use now, an old fashioned wooden knight stick. He had me hand cuffed to his "call box" in seconds. He was just kind of poking me in the ribs with it.
Geez ssorry LR, I know what my problem is, I am punch drunk.
good night amigo
oh one more thing I was about five or six i think, me and my black friend in I got into a debate about who had the biggest pecker. Whe had our them out and we are arguing about it when my grandmother come out to see what the shouting was about. I don't think I go to play with him anymore.
I can't believe I posted that.
I could go back and delete it but
what ever happened to DW and her memoir? she kind of left it at part eight.
Well all this sexual karma rising to the top like dead fish.
I am pretty sure he challenged me to that contest. I could have cared less how big it was. All I knew was that it was very clean.
And then the black bastard accused me of cheating, he said I was pulling on mine trying to stretch it out.
one more thing I had a book called Life the Movie. I hardly read anymore. Read a couple pages and took it back to the library
Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality.

Clay I don't except you to read this trash, just trying to stay a awake here my dam land lord lady is forty five minutes late. I been up since four thirty am, I like those eary mornings.
I will probably delete this mess in the morning if you ignore it it will just go away.

While you're at it with spewing racist terms, Mister Lrod, why don't you include the Sand Moolies.
Then you can add my whole family to your movie.
I hate racism.
I know you're just kidding around because I KNOW you aren't a racist.... but it's really rubbing me the wrong way.
Your daughter is married to a middle eastern man and you have grandchildren with black skin.
So anyway, I don't like this thread and I'm thinking of deleting it.
Why? Just because I CAN, that's why.
Peace and love.

My movie
would be a B movie
with a G rating
G not standing for
Good
I wouldn't use subtitles
There wouldn't be any
Dialogue
The cast would sit
or stand or walk
Silently
Yes, a Silent film
with plenty of action
that's what my life...
er... movie
would be about
Listen to the sound
The gospel sound
Of lying silence
Oh, but it would star
in the lead role
Johnny Depp
and there would be
plenty
I say PLENTY
of SEX
Oh, yes, did I mention
it will be
A fantasy

My movie would fall somewhere between the lines of Cybal(damn not spelled right) and Carrie.

My movie would be a cut up of The Last Tango In Paris meets The Jerk.
And I have the very last line in the movie which would be
"Rosebud."
And Peggy Lee would sing is that all there is?
