Old Movie Credits

Old Movie Credits
Matt Quarterman

The fanfare swells no matter who
lives or who dies, what explodes
or is contained, red wire blue
she jumps, she's caught, he's dead
but she's not and neither
were really who we thought but
still the strings and horns clash,
tied at the wrist and locked
until someone submits and usually
it's us because finally
we can be told the hidden truth
we'd been waiting for without
knowing what it was and there
it is in terrifying flame,
ninety feet high to tell us
this is the end The End THE END.
