On Playing A Detective: a self-directive

+_+_+
Detective Mickey
Mouse’s Rubber gloves
covered in permanent marker blood
VS
Detective
Mickey Rourke’s
Lineless guilelessness
VS
Science of:
Every girls corpse
Sprouting New Men like
New Mexico mushrooms
They stalk
up all night for a shot
at the savior spotlight
6 year old boy colors latex gloves red
Planting them in bushes, calls out,
Dad! KTLA! KIIS FM!
It’s me, the famous 6 year old detective
O.J. Simpson’s bloody glove has been found
You can pay me now in Dr Pepper or
love if any happens to be lying
action!
16mm shutter sounds and;
Everything charming is lost
Everything murderous is found
Cut print & it’s all a daze
I need one more take
With way less O.J.
See sarge, a not-so-strange rage
managed to ricochet off My Ukrainian
Moviewife-For-the-Day
Things got bloody ; not in a movie way
Cut print & it was all a daze
The dye is cast
The film is expensive
The rehearsals were so full of love
But
6 year old me had to become OJ
In order to plant
That glove
The film is expensive
The rehearsals were so full of love
Yet our one-and-only take
Wasnt OJ’s Dr Pepper Commercial
It was
the other side of his glove
Blame my DNAs rowdy ways
For locking horns with the polish cameraman
Right before the shot
Camera Over Character My (black) Ass
Characters Against Cameramen
Ill bite your fucking Bolex reel
If that’s how I feel
An Actors
Close Up
Can Never
Grow Up
In Los Angeles
Interior of a 6-year-old
Detective OJ Simpson
His theft of red permanent markers
Left marks on his permanent record
Just 1 more take ?
Up all night for a shot at the savior
Spotlight In the hills of Los Angeles
Where a Green Praying Mantis
Found his way onto our movie set
Rode my zipper in from
outside
Where, over a smoke, we had spoke
of things
Way inside
Now a Crew Watches Me Act
for 1st time
Under spotlights, savior to
praying mantis’s everywhere
Shuttling it on shoulders
Outside
As Director watches me anxiously from
inside
Framed against
my own character’s interior design
Home
inside the actors studio,
Meet the savior to
praying actresses everywhere
Shooting up in the hills
Not far from the famous sign
Home
inside the roach motel
I will never resign
