This is supposed to be 87 words. I cheated a bit. But THE and END are both words and I seem to remember them featuring at the completion of those magical movies of my youth. So they sort of belong here.
This is for a prompt from Sammi (#230 …. so I’ve only missed 228 thus far) … to be found here

I shed my worries, take my seat
A box of popcorn at my feet
Brief encounter. Brush with fame
Though I don’t know your real name
You take me places I’ve not seen
With magic on the silver screen
Smiling starlet, look my way
Remind me of a yesterday
When everything was wrapped in gold
And I believed all I was told
This brief escape. Just you and me
This refuge from reality
Open curtains. Dim the light
Be my dream for just one night
THE END

one better than the back row of the cinemas was the drive in … 😉
