a motion picture
camera is rolling
a man stands behind it
turning the crank
someone is at a piano
playing music
scripted for this
Rudolph Valentino
black and white
silent film
he is young
he is handsome
maybe breathtaking
you will not
hear his voice
or forget his eyes
you might swoon
you will swoon
the scene is set
frame after frame
the lighting blinks
fades and flashes
as the story unfolds
with nothing but
a few words on a screen
separating scenes and actors
matching their acting
to the piano music
