TOGETHER
what
I was trying to say
ABOUT
FILM
BUT
I want to tell you
ABOUT
my eleven year old*
*possibly twelve, I'm not sure
OSCARS theory
I don't remember
the films
& the people SPECIFICALLY involved
BUT
I became
CONVINCED that
JUDGES
were CONSIDERING THINGS people did in previous years that they MAYBE deserved to WIN for that OTHER TIME
SO
TO ME
THIS INVALIDATED
the ENTIRE thing
if it wasn't
ABOUT
WHO
DID
BEST
what were we EVEN DOING here
I think
I'm not sure
HOW
I feel about it
NOW
I THINK
I currently believe
that although I can't say I was
WRONG exactly
I THINK
it's easier to believe in an
OBJECTIVE
WINNER
when you're LOOKing
from ONE perspective
my ONE TAKE at the time--
it's ALL POLITICS
I was QUITE dramatic about it
I considered it a disillusionment
THAT'S HOW I
THOUGHT
of them*
*I was making a list
WARNING--
[I'm sorry, I think this is really funny now, but it might not sound that way]
LATER
I ADDED
--HEY, I THOUGHT
you were SUPPOSED to
be able to TRUST
PARENTAL
ADVICE--
BUT
one hundred percent
if I JUST
DID what I
THOUGHT
DIDN'T
ASK
BETTER
this was ALL an adolescent
THING--
the LIST of
DISILLUSIONMENT
