the terminator was at the uc cinema
i thought it might be good for a laugh
got there early they were waiting for me
my fellow arnold fans with open mouths
thick glasses and scraggly beards giants caps on backwards
field jackets stuffed with candy bars and stephen king novels
a chill passed through me and i continued on
down university avenue to serendipity books
to buy a nice book of poetry
but who was i kidding?
i was one of them
they were my brothers

as a bit of a reluctant terminator junkie myself, I found myself wrapped up in the sense of odd community you have woven here....
the candy bars and stephen king combo was a nice touch.... almost weirdly serene...
There is something special about Arnold...
This reminds me of how I can sometimes like people that I find as assholes. I can't help thinking that Bush and Mussolini seemed like agreeable guys on one level, even though I hate their politics and what they stand for. Not sure why. Maybe it's their sad smiles that seem genuine. But man, I won't be fooled.
