Replying to a comment on:
Actor (Free verse) by horus8
There was a time when I did not think,
but open the mouth and move words,
and then there is now.
There was a place carved out of hillside
Where children played with wooden swords
And summer was heaven.
And somewhere between Rolf and Hamlet
I eyeball Richard the III, thinking...
'Fuck, a beard and a bow'?
Right now, I read great and stupid books
Vaguely noting the comparison
As my eyes duly sweep smoggy mountains
There was a story I recall
About a man on a deserted island,
but then, just like that
Came Friday, so
he did it again,
and again
hitting his mark
Like God-smack.
I have a dream
My face is mutilated
I've become Tom Cruise,
but taller.
I think 'fuck,
I was hoping for a thin Val Kilmer
and maybe a golden globe'
I wake up on mushrooms in Malibu
Mumbling about god and math,
and women find me attractive
Because I'll put up with anything,
but getting in my light
(Or stepping on my lines).
