In movies
All these everyday happenings
They're magic
Small gestures
Hold meaning
Foreshadow
Huge implications
But here
Off camera
Things happen
In dull shades of brown
Every act
Is selfish
Empty
Insignificant
What I'd give
To see fate
Up close
Zoom and pause
At appropriate times
So I'd know
Those beautiful moments
Subtle mysteries
That change everything
I could savor
Record them
Before they're lost
