I am tired of this life
of noir
the greyness of sealskin
pulled taught over my face
this indoor sterility staring
through smeared glass
So go on, batter me flat
O wind and rain
I’ll live out visceral dreams
before plagues of locusts
blot out this pretending sky

Great scene for noir film night. Has anyone seen Bogart or Mitchum?
