McDowell Was Injured Anyway.

                  
                 
Books that become plays                    
-invent films                    
which don't always do    
justice in the read                    
                    
then again, some                
sparkle delight.                    
                   
McDowel's interpretation
of Alex,
in A Clockwork Orange                   
lands as perfectly
on the screen  
as Singing In The Rain                    
dropped on the stage;                    
-studiously as the
doctorate framed and hung
at Moorfields Eye Hospital                    
                   
Antique lid-locks                    
held eyes shut open                    
-baroque anesthetics                    
numbed;                 
doctor's administered                    
eye    
drops                    
                   
those eyes blinked                    
-yes, they did!                  
                   
slicing the side of    
his cornea                    
cutting,        
the scene short                    
           
McDowel endured                    
twenty eight minutes                    
of ruthless sex                    
in the name of            
fast forward film-art.                       
                   
Who said acting was        
not a contact sport?                    
                   
Did literature deserve an                    
"X" rating                    
for the preventing                    
of high-speed                    
pornography?                    
                   
Is orange the new                    
black?                    
   
      
   
-thumbs up                    
-elbows together                    
-bums out                    
           
           
                   
atuti ta, atuti ta                    
atuti tatae!
