the dead don’t stick around for the credits /
they know indebtedness ends /
in a thin flash of late evening light /
stumbling down the stairs /
a monologue in need of captioning /
the dead leave the movie early /
deciding the production does not serve the story /
sticking their hands in the projector’s beam /
stealing the crucial image that ties the plot together /
writing their reviews on cigarette-stained windows /
spoiling the prequel already in production
