julia roberts
he tells me to come over
and look at his computer
on the screen he has a trailer
for the new julia roberts film
watch this, he says, smiling
in the trailer
julia is biking and sailing
laughing
cavorting on the beach
cherry-picking every eastern religion
that she can get her hands on
her big horse-mouth open in awe
i love her, he says
after the trailer is over
she’s my girl
remember that film of hers?
the one where she
has to disguise herself
from her abusive husband?
sleeping with the enemy
yeah, that one
and that other one where she’s a lawyer
the pelican brief
yes!
how about that one where julia
has to fight
that chemical company?
erin brockovich?
yeah, man!
that was a great movie
he leans back to stare
at the frozen frame
of the trailer
julia is walking
down the street
with some european grease-ball
i tell you she’s my girl, he says to me
that’s nice, i say
you must like her too
since you know all of her movies
no, i say
i hate the bitch.

lynne....i reached breaking point with Julia Roberts....but i did get a free Eat Pray Love bookmark, so whenever i'm done reading about the creation of the Transcontinental Railroad, I get Julia's face when I close the book....and you're welcome about your blog..keep writing!
Missed this the first time around. Hilarious.
