Supermarket Oscars

This film is shot
every morning, every evening
same location, routined times,
come rain, come dry.
And the stars of this film
neither love nor die for love.
And they never get nominated
for the Oscars.

Savour the occasional repeats
on your local channel
if there is a case of misdemeanour.
Otherwise, supermarket cameras
record those uncelebrated films:
Art houses won't screen,
Anthony Lane won't review,
Odeon won't hammer billboards,
Blockbuster won't shelf...

And you won't find the soundtrack.
