Thanks, Doug. When revising this cine-poem, I attempted to simulate an oblique connection between phrases, clauses, and lines uttered by a number of actors within the same film. Initially skeptical of generating a 21-line acrostic (let alone a diastic or a mesostic), I would term what I wrote down while watching this film for the first time "freely written", intuitive. Barry
Lawrence and Patrick,
Here's another clip of the film director and performer Jean-Pierre Melville's cameo as the writer "Monsieur Parvulesco" being interviewed (in part) by the lead actress Jean Seberg within Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 "new wave" film BREATHLESS:

While I'm at it, here's the trailer for my source, Jean-Pierre Melville's 1953 film, WHEN YOU READ THIS LETTER:
