The Actress

Cold and even with this breeze it ain’t worth it. But it’s worth
the sweat and bronze burned shoulders. Poisonous sun. Aloe. My
favorite part is watching it sink in. HER favorite part is watching
the skin show itself out. I guess we all have interesting ways of
ending our days. Some take swigs of coffee then go for a mighty
run. Bask in the poetic frenzy that follows. Practice that concerto
in your fingertips-- don’t you lose that beat! Breathe, baby,
breathe. Practice beneficial doubt. I guess we all have ways of
getting through our days. Some people embrace changes others form a
stampede and drink. Some people drive stick shift ‘round corners of
cliffs or stitch up spliffs. Some people take the doors off their
cars. Wrangler, Jeeps. Barbie Reynold’s pink. You’re a lot like
heating pink letting it cool mixing it with white and tossing into
light-- I guess we all have different ways of expressing our DNA.
