Johnny Ace

let me tell you
about johnny
and the starfuckers
and also-rans
and the ones who longed to
be longed after
who chased and scored
and vanished.
My indie film
casting couch whim
my partner edits films
for some famous editing guy
what do you mean
you've never heard of him?
cool kids, unspooling
in the modern age
from black to grey
minor threat
black flag new wave
every scene, every stare
every drug you ever heard
and a whole bunch more.
I've been in everything
you haven't seen.
my best moments in all
my films
never end up on the
screen, chopped
and floored
like some extra
longing to be
the backlot whore.
my life is art,
my films are free
would you buy my DVD?
