Forgotten Names

That reminds me of...

that film!

You know, 

the one we watched,

that black and white

French film we saw...

with the man who has brain cancer,

and there's that beautiful scene

with him lying down in the back of a taxi

driving to the hospital

and he passes all of the people

that show up over the course of the film.

There was a young man involved in gang violence,

a broken marriage,

a young kid's first day at school,

a married couple moving to a new city.

Each in their own black and white story,

all moving towards "the end."
