NO, I Don’t Want to Be in Your Next Feature!
Black rimmed Buddy Holly glasses and Skinny Jeans
Passive observer, sipping overpriced caffeine
Script half written on computer screen
Been working for the last three days on the same damn scene
Discouraged by the doom of writer’s block
Checks out the room, Stares at the clock
Smiles at the barista, tries to make small talk
Reads the LA Weekly, goes for a walk
Procrastinates on Facebook, email, and gawks at the morning rush
Forming at the coffee shop
Of hipster chicks in booty shorts and vintage tops.
Dostoevski and Tolstoy spread on his table for all eyes to see
A notepad with scribbles to create mystery
No day job and no screenplay makes him a bitter disappointment
But at least twice a month he gets a check from Unemployment
Meeting scheduled for later with a pseudo-producer
Don’t want any of the regulars to realize he’s just another loser!
