The Little Things

behind every film a visionary strains his mind

plotting every facet with such care that each detail is nearly impossible to find

from book bindings, to bottle labels, to the exact brand and height of a candle

processing each individually seems too much to handle

rather, take it all in at once, enjoy the meticulously planned sight

but the closer you look, the more you think in spite

who has the patience? who has the time?

even to write down a single line?
