The Roxy
we used to go to the pictures, file out
deaf and stunned by what we'd seen
it never faded, the novelty, no movie
lacked a technicolour king or queen
now life's a film the thrills have died
every day's a banal double feature
screen stars ten a penny its routine
the vision of a monstrous creature
its no fun when you've seen it before
appetites jaded expectations ...
