80's Action Movies in the Afternoon

a drum machine starts syncopated rhythm
heavy on the snare and cymbal
guitar joins and a voice wails
about being immortal princes
i'm tucked close in to your chest
tip my head to look into your eyes
smile quickly
"What?"
"Nothing..."
credits roll as the theme plays
no graphics just simple text with the music
i reach behind me and touch your neck with my left hand
as the movie starts
the star glowers moodily for a while
action swirls over the screen
i turn slowly against your chest
facing you now
chin to chin
"What?"
i reply with a kiss on your mouth
your eyes close
the music swells behind me
your hands on my back now
mouths pressing together
the movie people are talking
interest piqued i turn away and concentrate
on the movie
you kiss the top of my head
i giggle at the sight of the villian
turning to share the smile
make-out scene on screen
i look at you
your eyebrows raise
we emulate the stars past the end of the screen-moment
i don't care how the movie works out
they always do
the only thing i care about is
your mouth on my skin
your back under my hands
the music rises over the final credits
and we are the stars.
