Yelm Cinemas

It’s the only movie theater in town
In the back of Prairie Park
Across the full lot from the library and Casa Mia
Walk in the door there’s many unorganized tables to the left
Then a long concession stand right in front of you
And on the far right a small arcade
It’s a small theater
Sometimes crowded as a Target on Black Friday
Sometimes empty like a classroom in the summer
There’s a long hall beyond the ticket stand
Doors leading the the six theaters
And elementary school artwork hanging on the wall
Every weekend there’s a large group of middle schoolers
Just like a pack of wolves
They make memories good and bad that they’ll remember forever
Tears of happiness and tears of sadness slide down the faces of
People who love and hope
All at the only movie theater in town
