The Man Who Delivered the Movies
The
Saturday afternoon matinee
Outside
the Palace Theatre in a line
Impatient
for the hour, the man, John Wayne
Air-conditioning,
popcorn, Coca-Cola, escape
Then
riding to the rescue of the ranch
The
man who delivered the reels of fun
Running
up the steps with a big grey case
Of
Rio Bravo – he brought us our dreams
And
did he know, speeding to little towns
That he
too was a hero of the Golden West?
