Every now and then you haunt me.
The comfort of darkness shattered
by bright, blinding light.
Vision, once obscured, returns
revealing indelible ink-stained pores.
A once blank canvas, scored.
An identity I didn't choose
expressed in a language I didn't speak
until false consciousness collapses
And bare skin is reborn.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
