Late Late Show

I love those old B&W films, with the great lighting and scene-setting ...

 

                   The Late Late Show
 
If I could,
            I would
Rewind my psyche,
Much like Sam the piano man,
Playing it again,
            your Bogie
                        to my Bacall.
Fade in,
            fade out …
Bad times on the cutting room floor.
Simple days,
            blacks and whites
                        and muted grays,
When a kiss was more than that,
            The end was a beginning,
                        and heroes never died.
Fade to now:
A million bit-map colors
            of pyrotechnic chaos,
While the band plays on
            for dancers,
                        dead and dying,
And there are no heroes anymore.
