Analysis of PARALLEL UNIVERSE ( in 3 acts)



medieval candles cast
a sword fight
50 feet high
I win
errol flynn dies.

Posse closing
in
river rages
below
three men holding hands
take a chance
me, butch
and sundance.

Hands form
imaginary guns
bullets lay down
a hail of
lead
smoke drifts on the wind
gregory peck...lies dead
