Your Costume Needs Work
what I am looking at?
something in the distance through binoculars
treated to the POV of that character—the enhanced
by matting the screen with a double-circular frame
emulating the binocular experience
overlapping circles
possible for an extremely good shot
to fire a bullet through the scope of
a sniper's rifle with the bullet ending
up in the unlucky shooter's eye in movies
and television
lens glare
contrary to what everybody knows
bitching of the fake native american accent
of a real native american actor
super trope
audible sharpness
the fictional swords
go shing! when they're touching
nothing but hot air
bitter almonds
in fictional nuts
detecting and interpreting
that the almond smell is cyanide
cartoon bombs
realistic 19th century
explosive artillery ammo
kensington gore
fake blood people
have come to associate
with how real blood looks
ptero soarers
combo dinosaur
and vampire bat
raptor attack
real velociraptors
are smaller and behave
more like flightless eagles
telepathic sprinklers—
when one overhead fire sprinkler
goes off the rest will too
I hit the enhance button
fictional computer programs
accurately sharpen pictures and video
that started at very low resolution—I see
that you're out of focus
your costume needs work
stock object colors must have
a certain color—the audience
expects it so
