THE MISSING ELEMENT
Ear-splitting explosions
don't have it, neither
madcap car chases,
nor naked abases.
Not found in robots,
monsters, or
extraterrestrials,
usually--
except for E.T.
Always missing in
psychedelic setting;
doesn't pulsate in
neon, or glittering
come- on.
Lost and forgotten
in the special effects,
shock-style movie,
or prime time TV...
And, if sometimes--
rare times-- real love
plays a part, oft' times,
still, no HEART.
