<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\nby Ivan Jenson<\/p>\n
We aren’t that very
\ndifferent you know
\nwe all turn into
\nJimmy Stewarts
\nat first snow
\nand become
\nJudy Garlands
\nwhen we witness
\na rainbow
\nour past
\nis always
\nblack and white
\nour present
\ntechnicolor
\nour future only
\nWilliam Shatner
\ntruly knows
\nand when time
\nlike Brando
\nmakes us
\nthat offer
\nwe can’t refuse
\nwe become
\ndynamite in
\nWilliam Holden’s hands
\nwith a burning fuse
\nby then it’s already too late
\nto ask why oh why
\nas we blow up
\nand topple down
\nlike the bridge
\non the River Kwai<\/p>\n
