Please Refrain From Talking During The Movie
By Robert Polito
When I can’t make you understand I repeat myself
I repeat
If you don’t stop asking me all these questions how
Will I understand anything
Please refrain from talking during the movie
I need a life that isn’t just about needing
To escape my life
Please God please may Carrie please fall for me
I want to show off my hidden camera
I’m an informer but I have my limits
You hurt him once before now what
If she’s there I don’t know if I can go
Please refrain from talking during the movie
Leave a message if you can’t reach me
To exit press enter and don’t forget your receipt
When I think I read new things I want
A life where I read and think new things
Please refrain from talking during the movie
I want to know nothing
Again
Please God please may Carrie please fall for me
I repeat myself when I can’t
Make you understand I repeat
