nothing to do now
until everyone leaves….

now
as the picture show is over—
another picture




After the movie everyone leaving the theater. Some heading to the bathrooms, the men’s room or the ladies’ room, some hurrying out toward the front door into the night, others lingering in the lobby discussing the merits of the film. One person sitting still.  Right away, I thought,  that’s a picture!
