The DP wants to introduce me to the great
character actor: MS. And my first reaction is wow!
I love his movies. But these days, I have so little
to say.  

Just last week the director asked my name
and before I knew it, he was walking away.
Bri turned to me and was like, “Dude, you just stared
into the distance. He was talking to you.”  

I feel such a deep sense of meaninglessness.
I stare into the camera, and open my mouth
but nothing comes out. There’s no fourth wall;
I’m not mugging. I’m not even here.  

But the DP says MS is a “real blast to be around.”
He told me last week that they sometimes
smoke crack alone together. And he thinks
I would really get a kick out of meeting a professional,  

but I pretend I have stuff to do.
“__” I say.
After a minute he says, “ok whatever dude.
It’ll be a good time is all I’m saying.”
