Last night Len and I watched Woody Allen's Match Point with the classicly beautiful Scarlett Johansson. In the movie, Allen creatively re-invents Dostoeyevski's Crime and Punishment. The viewing of the film, and perhaps the macabre nature of Halloween may have inspired my response to today's word: Arrow.
Arrow
I shot an arrow in her heart
to make her love me.
Red spread through the broad
blue and white stripes
of her t shirt
and I thought of the Flag.
She will never love me now.
God Bless America
Bled out in an empty lot--
she's dead.
