filming on location
i should have locked in a salary
handshakes in hollywood
dissipate when the budget soars
in my stressful sleep they come—
shooting at a ghost town on location
twelve hours a day
you’d see them too
it started last week when . . .
i wish we could bring back james dean
the blond i hired said innocently enough—then—
someone shouted they saw rock hudson
fighting with gary cooper on horseback
i just yell cut and take thirty
hitch’s hand touches my shoulder
oh god, not me too
shooting on location at a ghost town, you’d see them too
