Audience Hesitation


You want to know before
the movie starts,
the novel hooks you in,
not as a spoiler, YouTube™ clip
or liner note
(that would be cheating)–

nor must you be told
if there will be romantic interludes,
partings and reunions,
degradation, even loss of hope:

no, what you burn to know
(what all consumers yearn to know
before we dive in deep)
is if they leave as lovers.

Story Hesitation


You want to know before
the movie starts,
the novel draws you in,
not as a spoiler, YouTube™ clip
or liner note
(that would be cheating)–

nor need you foreknow
if there will be shooting,
flames, defeat, romantic interludes,
partings and reunions,
degradation, even loss of limbs:

no, what you need to know
(what all consumers want to know
before we grow attached)
is if they leave as lovers.

Buyer Indecision


You want to know before
the movie starts,
the novel takes you in,
not as a spoiler, YouTube™ clip
or liner note
(that would be cheating)–

not if there will be shooting,
detonations and romantic interests,
partings and reunion,
stress, degradation, maybe loss of limbs:

no, what you want to know
(what all consumers want to know
before we get stuck in)
is if they leave as lovers.
