Director's Cut


from the ABC set

Jump cuts; flashing back:
fade to grey.
The movie of my life -
re-edited today.

Had the ending
story-boarded:
framed a final, pithy
closing shot.

Doctor told me straight:
he said better
not plan a sequel yet,
it’s all over.

My final scene was
interesting:
involved a plane and
young women.

A bed’s the end,
after all the drugs
and radiation:
fading out.

I wanted Bond not Bergman.
