BUNUEL'S FILMS

Life's bruising truths
screened before us
in a Spanish template
yet a telegraphic universe
humbling our laughter
that tears at dialogue
of subterranean speech
a miracle of reflections
in the skulls of a century
incinerating the ordinary
who walk away dazed
from the the rained-out
theater of spiteful humor
biting at an alternate humanity.
