Roll Sound

From the heights of
Hollywood & Baltic Street
I watched a kid actor getting arrested
19 takes while the lighting 6 floors down
made my bedroom orange, it
is the new black. The more I peered
down, yep, the same actor cop screamed
the same words, kid down on his
knees, hands up. The red brick
across the courtyard and the glass
in the windows ricochetted the electric
gold of illumination and repetition.
We gravitate to the wonders of this sideshow:
roll sound, action, roll sound, action.
