Haiku to The Bourne Ultimatum

I just saw The Bourne Ultimatum last night and it actually provoked a physical reaction in me. Specifically, nausea and motion sickness. So of course I was inspired to write a haiku, though I should warn you that it will probably suck since it is my first attempt at poetry since that time I tried to rhyme "Nantucket" in elementary school.

The Bourne Ultimatum
By Matt

Spies fight, kill, feel sad;
My eyeballs also feel sad.

Chunks will be expelled.


All joking aside, The Bourne Ultimatum is a fast-paced, action-packed, hyphen-friendly movie that more closely follows the dizzying The Bourne Supremacy (also directed by Paul Greengass) than the slightly more intelligent first installment in the series, The Bourne Identity. It’s extremely light on emotion but delivers the action with fight after fight after fight.

Possible Side Effects to watching The Bourne Ultimatum:
Sweating, barfing, man-crush on Matt Damon


If you like lightweight spy thrillers and have a stronger stomach than me (very easy to accomplish) then you’ll probably enjoy The Bourne Ultimatum.
