Isn’t Angelina
Jolie just one of the
best impersonations of Persephone
we’ve seen in a long time or what sweeping
through airports through crowds of gaping mortals
a small flock of five year olds in tow reprising her role
as the winged victory or the angel at the prow of our sinking ship
I think she’s brave
or stands for bravery
or something like it
I say that as a father
I say that not as a father
I say that at a safe distance
from fame.

I had to click on this. Because I almost wrote an Angelina Jolie poem last night. Weird. She played Pandora, you know? Well, she found P's box so she was Pandora Rediviva. Rosario Dawson played Persephone. In the Percy Jackson (Perseus retold) flick. I find her fascinating. But not her husband. Although they were wonderful together in Mr. And Mrs. Smith. And Jolie has one of my all time favorite lines in that movie. Somebody says something about "so much for happy endings." And Angelina qualifies: "Happy endings are only happy because they are NOT endings." Love that. Yeah, I know she didn't write it. But so what.
Nice line. No I haven't seen that Jackson movie, or heard of it. Weird.
