...then the whole bunch of us rushed down to Sparky's
oh!
the cameras went stark raving mad
flying film in seven directions, and
as if on cue
everybody plunged into the opaly brew
bobbing like beautiful apples
on the diffused
Technicolor horizon

the Director
in high boots and riding crop
was screaming for order
screaming orders nobody heard
ears stuffed up with salty tongues
triangular fins
phony pearls
finally
the producer showed
rolled up in a low American car
leaped out like a defecting ballerina
yelling
cut! cut! cut!
all over the place
he whipped out his heirloom
Colt 45
(registered to the Prop Department)
and shot the Director
through his rented
bullet-proof heart
after the applause died
we drowned them both
weighted them down
with canisters
of this exposed
award-winning
film

***

Go Blue!
