Here's another poem I wrote, with me doing the voiceover. Would anyone be interested in animating it? I think it is a pretty visual bundle of words.

Right Before

By Mark Mazzoli 

It felt good to see

you across the small table

and in the dark car along

for the ride

Lately the world leaves me like the sudden

crows that fly away from us in unison

springing from the bare branches

of deep-asleep trees

A criminal life is

all I've got

But I don't think anybody obeys

all the rules

They pick and choose

to make their trips through the cold

as short as possible

I've got the pedal to the floor in

our getaway car and maybe

we can catch up with the lives in those far-

distant houses

or at least pass the crows

before they run into the windows

and make the view from inside bitter-sweet
