"Now Playing" By Ryan Quinn Flanagan

Apparently
it is “weird” to stand
with all the mothers
at the playground
behind their happy children 
and say:
“Now Playing”

in that sultry leather dominatrix voice
introducing the previews
“at a theatre near you”

that same sudden gun range voice 
you find flea collar
reassuring

as though Donald Sutherland
is selling arms to legs
in a bid to reunite the human
body.
