Analysis of A Dream on Film
I have it on film, so it was Easy to Paint.
I've painted it a 100 times.
A Shadow crawling on my Wall with no Form----Beside it.
The Pitbull kept jumping at the wall as if to Catch it.
The Cat took one look at it &
Hid for days.
I could only FEel it pulling
On my Brain
As if to open it; but it never
Touched me.
So, thinking I was was dreaming,
I picked up my brand new
Camera & started to Film.
On the TV, a horror Movie was
In full swing;
But the person sitting beside me never saw a thing! ???
Later, I showed the film to
My then fiancé & all I got was:
"It must have been the Dog."
I'm glad that YouTube censored it
The Religious will call it a Demon or God
& You know Atheists will call it a Fraud.
But I know what it's not.
It was NOne of those things; it was an electromagnetic Hole.
A shock.
I've painted it a 100 times &
Even though I have it on film
----I can't get it Right.
I know only "Living Things" move AND play moving like that.
So, why did it need
Camouflage for the Eyes of a
Woman, Dog, or Cat?
If it had just stayed still,
I wouldn't have seen it
At all.
