She's watching inside a cinema,

Chronicling her visions from a

Compilation piece,

Built in mental murals

Motion pictures can drag for hours, 

But it doesn't tower

All that thirst inside a cinephile, 

Quenched by her sequels



Every spring and summertime, 

Is the perfect moment for the cinephile

To make it like the movies 

She tracks meticulously

Skating down the ice rink, 

Like her gliding digital ink

For the foreground sketch

And cinematography



It's zooming in on the swings, 

Her childhood best friend grinning

Tea parties above 

Their tree house

Dressing up their dolls for the annual ball, 

Time for the camera to roll

Build pillow forts at midnight, 

Whisper scary stories with the owls



All the soundtrack and scores, 

All settled and tendered at her innermost core

Not all from the audience can really grasp 

A tinge of deja vu

From collective memories and homages

That builds the archways and bridges

For her best film ever produced

About late nights and indie youth



Because she's the director, 

They're all actors

Burst out 

From her screenplay page

When the pictures' finished, 

They all end up in credits

Where she writes down 

All their names



So if one day her camera's buried, 

Her legacy is sturdy

Even if it's not imprinted 

In museum paintings

The characters all breathe, 

In relatable and unforgettable feats

Marked by a passing date

In vintage color grading
