Shaw

Shaw is an art house movie theater projectionist. And a poet. While the films play, he writes. For the last few months he has been working on a themed collection. In one poem, his freckles carry on bitchy conversations about his life choices behind his back. In another one, he writes about the time his older brother played connect-the-dots with a sharpie on his face while he was sleeping. There is another one where would-be freckles compete in reality-show like contests to become visible freckles. In another, a band of flesh-eating freckles plot to devour his entire body after he says ‘freckles suck’ into the mirror. Tonight, during the 7:30 showing of Jules et Jim, he started a poem about freckles that blink on and off like Christmas lights when he is attracted to someone. The working title of his collection is Spotted Dick.
