I Was There.

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.
