Sometimes

The sunset in Mississippi

sometimes you get a travelin' job
with costumes, set and, yes, a blog...
sometimes an actor is so sick
you have to leave him with the hicks...
sometimes the only place that's free
is the indoor pool or the rainy street...
and as the warmth rises from the pool
you teach the show and keep your cool,
for when tomorrow roles around
you'll be out in front of a crowd
with a man who learned his part last night
next to the pool in the fluorescent light...

wish. us. luck.
love from somewhere in Arkansas...

I like to call this one "Pool Rehearsal 2000"
