8 1/2 (inspired, but already agreed upon)

the beautiful confusion
caused by seamless transition
Fellini taught me a lesson
these shots do my head in

disappear in the background
dream sequence in the foreground
cigarette smoke in black & white
dishonesty in Guido's plight

emotional distance leads to questions
floating cameras transpose confused visions
life, love, film, to a broken composition
harmony spots confused ambition

neorealism exchanged for individual fantasy
magicians' tricks in the pictures we see
pomp & circumstance ending with a circus
director's block caused by lack of focus

escaping to pastures of wide open space
barely safe in dreams, reality returns with haste
