VERA-NO DETOURS
Dedicated to Ann Savage
By Writer/Poet Tony D'Ambra
“Come on, come on
Put your hands into the fire
Explain, explain
As I turn and meet the power
This time, This time
Turning white and senses dire
Pull up, pull up From one extreme to another”
- Into the Fire by 13 Senses
standing by the highway
alone against eternity
one last chance
to make it – big time
your dyin’ babe
lungs can’t hold out too long
against the rising tide
choking blood
you need a ride
booze
a shower
wash the lizard’s skin from your nails
he offers
okay
what the hell!
maybe this time
another loser
lost
so stupid
he thinks fate did it
make it happen
he’s a goner
one last chance
do it
you need love babe
I need dough more
this guy’s a ticket
to blow before I split
booze
makes me sad
lonely
love me
just one time
before I go

[editor's note: I think that writer, poet Tony D'Ambra's poems reach the very core Of the characters that are portrayed in these films known as film noir ...Therefore, if you like you can watch the film in its entirety and after viewing the film you re-read Tony's D'Ambra's poem or you can read Tony's poem and then watch the film. Note: You Can Also Purchase a book Of Tony's Prose and Down load a copy in an e-book format too here at LULU.COM
Thank-you, deedee ;-D
