In the last years I wanted to see
On The Waterfront

The audible Brando
with depressed eyes
wandering in the face
in its elegy about Mob

However really I wanted to hear
concerning the Joey
Joey
that was to be trainer of pigeons
but he fell of the roof.

I think the last line should read 'off the roof' although in poetry, including my own, one can never be sure. :)

I'm just not getting the facial expressions reference. I've seen the movie and remember the part about the roof and pigeons but still it's not coming together for me.

I liked this. It's a good example of post-modernism, or
metafiction (works of art about works of art.)

Post-modern, abstract, unintelligible, no difference.
