I am in this movie,
you know.
I am the character that nobody talks about.
In the mountain in the first shot,
I am quite clearly visible
planting a tree for peace
on the other side of the mountain.
My name is a scream
across a sign just too far left
for the cameras to reach.
The lead man with the eyes
is actually my lover.
Two days before the movie happened
we had haiku ladled over sushi.
But you wouldn't know any of that because
I am only visible
in the credits,
very small, curled up inside
the dot of the "i" in "Cinema".
I can change your worldview;
round like an orange.
