Before Sunrise - Delusion Angel
I was youtube-ing 'Once' yesterday and somehow it reminded me of 'Before Sunrise' and how long it was since the last time I saw it. So I saw it again and there's a scene in the movie where a bum poet wrote a poem for them that has the word 'milkshake' in it. Here it is:
Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?
-David Jewell
I'm no poem connoisseur but I like it. Very much.
