An experimental poem, written after one of our creative writing meetings.
The scene they shot at Cardinal Hill Avenue 2302
I love you.
Could you say that with more passion?
I LOVE YOU.
I think the text is too flat.
Oh come on. Is there anything with more depth than these words?
Well, it depends.
On what?
On how you say them.
Say it again, please.
I LOVE YOU.
See, that's exactly what I mean.
Sounded fine to me.
But it was so... meaningless.
Maybe you're too ambitious.
Maybe she's a bad actress.
Okay. Try a little more meaning.
???
You heard him. Just do it.
I loVE yOu.
Stop the camera.
This is a B-movie you know.
So what? The movie is called Whispers of Desire. That means I want whispers and desire.
...
Alright, give us a whisper.
I love you.
With more desire!
I love you.
Desire!
I love you!!!
That's not desire, that's a stage whisper.
I love you.
I LoVe YoU.
I love you, oh I love you, oh boy, how I love you.
Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, I love you.
I L - O - V - E YOU!
Okay, thank you, that's it!
Let's call it a day.
...
You know - I think we're gonna cut that scene.
