1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Cameras Shut Off
She and he are the beautiful people
They love each other with an open eye
The cameras shut off and the curtains close
And then they fight
"Hey you" he cries
"Yeah what" she retorts
"Take this" is the answer
And with one hit she dies.

She and he were the beautiful people
Throng and multitudes watched them adore
Then the cameras shut off and they were off the air
Their feelings uprooted
And they blew up.
