Moonstruck, screenplay by John Patrick Shanley
"We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die."
The winter air of my hometown
can slap a grin on any face;
fine snow in streetlights angling down
can cast a spell on time and space.
No one's surprised when brother or sis
arrives in the morning preoccupied
with last night's newfound mister or miss,
all foggy brained and dreamy eyed.
We glance back over shoulders, laugh
to see our crazy zigzag tracks;
an alternating EKG graph
from barely beating to heart attacks.
Our family portraits with changing mates
make interesting viewing for current dates.
