I listened carefully.

It was the crucial act of Dr Percy
At least for these eyes to show
us the desolate decline of love
In the world.
And
Showing us the daring adventure of
Human relations
The quicksand of our mental
Possessiveness 
And that self possession can be
Restored 
Even the Moviegoer filled withdeep life illusions Ends with an 
I and a thou
We are that I and thou
That’s the mystery
It’s nuff for this one reader

Reread 
“Allie and Will“ dialogues
Poems of illumination 
Out of the dark cave into the illumined light of love.

“ deep might call unto deep”

Dear Percy-L:

Perhaps this recent, close revisit to The Moviegoer by Mr. Elie could be a good start to 2020. As always, comments to the community are welcome. Enjoy!
