Reel

No sound.
An otherwise empty room.
          TV Screen:
Tight-shot on your face:
Cropped to your ears chin and hair.

At first, in the silence, your face will twist
Into the expression indicative of receiving a strong reprimanding from the viewer.

Then, it'll seem as if you had just locked eyes with the love of your life,

Then, suddenly, you'll look as though you've discovered a poop,

Then, very slowly, your face will gnarl into precisely the expression that coincides with watching Walt Disney slap his ass while
Licking an ice cream cone that your mother is holding
Up to his lips while
She slowly lifts one leg
And plays the kazoo.
