Buster Keaton

They're going to hurt you.
You know it.
Close your eyes.


The house will fall.
You can't stop it; only stand
Close your eyes.


The wind is blowing; the ship is sinking
The train is in motion. You are on it.
Close your eyes.


For a moment there is love.
Raise your face like a flower; expire in a sigh
And close your eyes.
