I’m all spun up in vernal colloquialisms

Caught a draft pressing leaves along my shoulder

Burnt orange a mirror for all the cubists in my diner

And I’m tethered dusk with you silk quinacridone

Shape me in tunnels of right, so right

My desk is cluttered, I wrote a letter, pin-back smirk and I’ve never been so invested desert tarot readings. One moment it’s May, fragile steps soft through dewy grass, and the next it’s autumn orchards. I think I’d like to give you a postcard tumbling nicotine stained around next days intentions. Forgive me my math rock stutter all mouths wandering. One day I can toss this diary, a staple of bird’s nest in an empty home. They’re mostly barn swallows this time of year.

"NOIR VEERS INTO APOCALYPTIC SCI-FI IN ROBERT ALDRICH'S 1955 MASTERPIECE..."

FILM: "Kiss Me Deadly"

DIRECTOR/PRODUCER: Robert Aldrich

SCREENPLAY: A.I. Bezzerides

CINEMATOGRAPHY: Ernest Lazslo

DISTRIBUTION: United Artists

"Genres collide in the great Hollywood movies of the midfifties cold-war thaw. With the truce in Korea and the red scare on the wane, ambitious directors seemed freer to mix and match and even ponder the new situation. The western goes south in "The Searchers"; the cartoon merges with the musical in "The Girl Can’t Help It." Science fiction becomes pop sociology in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." And noir veers into apocalyptic sci-fi in Robert Aldrich’s 1955 masterpiece "Kiss Me Deadly," which, briefly described, tracks one of the sleaziest, stupidest, most brutal detectives in American movies through a nocturnal, inexplicably violent labyrinth to a white-hot vision of cosmic annihilation.

A crass private eye looking for the big score, Mike Hammer plays with fire and gets burned. From the perversely backward title crawl (outrageously accompanied by orgasmic heavy breathing) through the climactic explosion, "Kiss Me Deadly" is sensationally baroque, eschewing straight exposition for a jarring succession of bizarre images, bravura sound matching, and encoded riddles the likes of which had not been seen in Hollywood since Orson Welles kissed the industry good-bye. Like one of "MAD’s" parodies, the movie unfolds in a deranged cubist space, amid the debris of Western civilization — shards of opera, deserted museums, molls who paraphrase Shakespeare, mad references to Greek mythology and the Old Testament. A nineteenth-century poem furnishes the movie’s major clue."
