Kingdoms and keys
In the back of a drawer
of an old writing desk in the attic,
helping your mother clear away clutter,
you come across a bunch of keys
tagged in spidery copperplate
‘Unknown’
and you pocket it.
You know you’ll need help later
with old secrets. They’re lined up
already, all those dusty suitcases
and trunks.
Friends of mine worked on sets for LOTR and Avatar, for years - most of the best artistic talent in NZ worked and partied together for those years. Their stories are even more bizarre than the ones they worked on.

The bottom line is we changed an industry:
now everyone wants their own epic franchise.
Every studio -- every country
with nothing to its name
but landscapes, cows, and those big-eyed
big-ass men in skirts screaming
like schoolboys -- every director
with a vision. But it's hard to save a world:
it took us three movies
and what we showed in the theaters
was barely the whole story.
We cut out most of the party.
I hope I did your country justice
