Girls on Film

Thanks Billy and Addy for your feedback and kind words; this was written in response to a challenge set me on another site to write a poem about commercial cinema from a woman's perspective. I may delete the last conjunction after "end credits,". I think the problem is that it implies a narrative - woman going to the cinema with her date - which wasn't present in the earlier verses, that were just satire from a female POV.
Oh and Billy, the "come on your face" line was a reference to the sexual practice called "Houdini," where a man pulls out on the moment of climax and rather than ejaculating into his lover's vagina or anus shoots unexpectedly all over her face.
