Cans of Film

from Elusive Angels by Bill White

/

lyrics

tomorrow has had its last weekend

what will they do with these cans of film
hidden deep inside the earth
how will they move emulsified faces
flashing again through untimed frames
now that tomorrow has had its weekend

will they know what lives inside these cans
will they have the means to make thhem move again
or will they shrug it off like the epitaph of an old love
saying, tomorrow has had its weekend

whyy did you leave the cans unopened
cans filled with the life of lost days
was it the struggle of too many words
trying to fit onto too few pages

we never did sync the sound to the fury
there was too much to do in too much of a hurry
structural conceits at the arc of the rainbow
just like space ate up time

when they finally turn up in the excavations
in the ruins of a country once so strong
will they try to understand us
or will they shrug it off, saying
tomorrow has had its weekend
