Red Hurts

Maybe I'll take the stars and the clouds to the movies tonight, something to enrich their lives. I'll hide them in a paper bag underneath my lumber jacket, along with a box of raisins, to save us a little money for refreshments. It's a date! Maybe they'd like a Jet Li movie, or the latest Bruce Willis film, a war movie, I heard on the radio. No. The clouds decided on Renee Zellweger, and Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago - such beautiful stars - Is someone getting jealous? Sometimes after a movie, girls follow me. I don't know why. I think they dare each other. Or maybe one of them caught a glimmer of the little ones inside my coat.
