my poem 'Inside Russia Today' like? not?

INSIDE RUSSIA TODAY

Yesterday I saw that new movie

the one about Vladimir, a Russian film-maker

working directly under Josef Stalin.

Vladimir was commissioned a film on Raskilnikof,

ambiguous anti-hero of the Czarist novel,

the metaphysical pawnshop killer.

He would show, must show, how, why

bourgeois society set the stage for brutality

onto which his sick protagonist would walk.

Simultaneously, to appease his conscience,

hiding in the mind from Party slogans,

he must make a statement, however subtle.

Vladimir’s script had made Raskilnikof, played

by Alex Druschevenov, into a movie director

wishing to document the pawn-broker trade.

Other important appearances include

the Bolshoi Ballet, dancing background

to the electrifying murder scene.

It’s hard to deny catharsis

as the bloody Raskilnikof, camera in hand,

heaves his Russian ax into the Volga.

The muted bells of great St. Basil,

over the year’s first snowfall, on Red Square,

where Vladimir, passing Lenin’s Tomb

    I like it; find it oddly documentary and, yet, that's okay. You're definitely entertainingly articulate, and I've just noticed that I've just noticed you! Your answers are consistent with your writing, so I can only wonder why not more, since you've been out here near as long as I.

    At any rate, write on...^10!
