the men wave their arms in labor
they have little-to-no excess fat
the sky is a flat paint bucket fill of blue
the men are in a circle
sound drops away
the rules are a circle
Cool Hand Luke is a movie about the rebellion of jokes

part I: Warner Bros logo
light bulbs are a hole
in the picture, a sterile idea
I don’t have
imagination I just have eyes 
I miss weather
but, I am not in this poem
Cool Hand Luke is a movie about building community

one wants to win, the other wants to laugh and never be afraid of pain
let the bosses suffer
no one can ever know death
sun like a press into a hot eye
there is not an after
what’s left just spreads out
Cool Hand Luke is a movie about having fun
