Don't blame me, Gerard planted the seed for this in the FHF  "Nan da to?!"
What the hell?! "Eishagishi no tame no haiku da!"
It's haiku for projectionists! MicroShaft fans (?) will recognize the source of this one: DLP screen blank
Of no use is your ire
Avica is down
Paul
I wrote a sonnet
But now I've lost it
Brother, can you paradigm?

How bizarre ... I heard a Budweiser haiku commercial on the radio on my way to work today and thought up a couple of Imax haikus ...Big screen overwhelms
Gives young patrons good cause to
Vomit in 3-D Hot projectionist
Behind the window looks good
Damn, they're all sexy

Reel bell startles me
Pathway to booth disappears!
Projectionist trauma......(Arigato gozaimasu)
Sake jug to Paul!
Basho laughs with glee to see
Haiku on Film'tech. .....(Sensei)
Thirty years with kids
Twenty-six alone in booth
Which seems better now? .......................................... "Go, strike another match and start anew...
'Cause it's all over now, Baby Blue."

Changeover approach!
Sheer terror on the switches!
Cue mark! Relaxed push.Carbons squish in joy,
their mystic trapped brilliance
lights our fantasy. People long for you.
Your power brings them your joy
in one film done right. Dark sweet summer night.
Mosquitos dance in popcorn smells.
Their show must go on. Small dots to the right
signal big changes to you.
Tiny mysteries. A mile of pictures,
sorrow, joy, resolution.
All in a night's work. Clark Gable looks up.
You glance in recognition,
pause, nod, and move on. A machine at rest
bursts into life and performs
at your proper touch. The stage lights go down
and your performance begins.
No one knows it's you. Puppets on linen
Sakoku may not suffice.
No theatre will survive. Basho on Fuji.
The fire looks into the fire
Ice surrounds their heat.

Random organic grains
Fill fields of white
Vivid world of color
Film Done Right!Million silicon pixels
Row's columns well defined
Reflections of what could be
In the mind. ------------------
