The Past is an Old Movie. The sky at night has many stars once Archie was one in his lifetime. in Bristol a left handed man dressed in a suit made of green dots, released balloons, each one had an image of serious faces looking up waiting to be entertained Against crisp daylight they vanished, later and deflated to softly fall on the leaky roof of a closed down cinema. Rubbing against brown slates they softly spoke lines learned when watching the big screen, but no one could remember a matinee idol called Archie.
