Black Maria

In the back, behind her dark walls
where I watched Annabelle dance,
Thomas Edison showed me what the world was like.
And I loved him for it. When
he let the Sioux dance for the camera
and showed the world what they'd read about -
but for the first time, real. Moving.

These are real people we see on these films.
Louis brought us the world, and Tom projected it.
