European Film

by Harrison Fisher

The drag of household
always feels “sticky”
as in being stuck.

Family is a feeling
to peel off, as
demonstrated

in European film

when they introduce
the children early,
then drop them

to get on with
the real story
because, unlike

the pups whelped
by Disney America,
they are not the point.
