Lines from a Movie I Haven't Seen

A fake waterfall is my favorite terrain feature

in this cut,

in this old pastry wrapped in walking,

 

here.

 

I watch the river subsided to half its depth

from below the plane trees,

next to the housing development,

 

where, just to be dangerous,

I walk on the bike path,

 

and laughing, waving tourists walk toward me,

toward downtown, one of them yells

that he’s never been to this city,

 

what should he see,

 

I eat an ice cream,

watching them,

 

and that’s when,

yes, for me it’s still

 

that fake,

weirdly constructed,

cheap waterfall,

smelling of chlorine and mold,

 

that I first saw

when I was thirteen,

 

and I was convinced

that it was simply the most beautiful

thing in the world,

 

because the sound of it was real,

 

that’s my favorite place
