let me show u mine

id like to say some colorful things
but the kids are here

can we agree that we feel better
agreed

we screened our films
i teach filmmaking

my point is why isnt it a film
if ur script is inserted

in the typewriter clasped
on the roll

and u hold up ur typewriter
for us to see

a conceptual film

ur concept in the drum
roll please

smiles and claps

who wants to exhibit their film
u alone say ok

let me show u mine
u place the selectric

upside umop
on the pedestal

u place ur script atop
the selectric

unclean u say
my film is called unclean
