Pause/Rewind

Movies about musicians should have good music.

If a television appears in a movie, whatever is playing

should also be something I would want to watch.

 

Pause/Rewind

I have a fixation over art-within-art.

How unreal within the unreal intensifies the realism.

 

Pause/Rewind

Back when we used VHS, you could record

over whatever existed on the tape.

Old recordings stayed burnt into the film, faintly

visible, forgotten in the background.

 

Pause/Rewind

I tied a string around my finger

so I wouldn’t forget,

but all I remember is how

it was annoying to tie the knot.
