The Last Big Hit by Jon Bennett
There’s a movie where an old Japanese professor
has a crush on one of his students
he arranges to meet her
and thinking it’s a date
he smears his face
with some kind of white face paint
to make himself look younger.
The student shows up
with her husband
and the professor runs to the bathroom.
He looks at himself in the mirror
he sees a buffoon
he’s not just a fool
he’s an old fool.
Sometimes when I look at you
I think about him.
