Modern Man (for S. C.)

It's the final day of shooting

Sitting in your trailer

Doing the last of the drugs

Scored from one of the grips

How does it feel

To play beggars, outcasts

Moguls, clerics

And philosophers

Weeping in the dust?

Have you found out

Who is sleeping

With your wife?

In one hundred years

Will all lights be solar powered?

Will the law be on your side?

Will commercials

Be narrated

By the posthumous voice

Of a long dead

Jeff Bridges?

Outside it's raining

Your face is numb

Fingers shake

Fumbling with an iPhone

Texting an x girlfriend

Late for lunch

It's a take
