I was there,
There in the cinema
When Carrie was first shown,
Shown in ‘seventy six,
Not quite hiding behind a chair.
But I was there
The moment she sent the knives,
The three knives at her mother,
And pinned her to a door.
I was there
When a man shouted out.
“ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!”
I was there.
At the film’s end
A friend kneeled in front of her grave,
I was there
When the hand shot up,
Shot up from below the ground,
I was there
When the whole audience screamed!
I was there.
