The Difficulty

This film, like many others,

claims we’ll enjoy life

now that we’ve come through

difficulties, dangers

so incredibly condensed

that they must be over.

If the hardship

was undergone by others,

we identified with them

and, if the danger was survived

by simpler life forms,

they’re included in this moment

when the credits roll

and we don’t know

when to stand
