Hollywood Knights
Built on envy
and city lights
The vagrant actor
alone at night
In hidden alleys
with tinsel thorns
On celluloid
new lies are born
A big screen promise
of broken dreams
The waitress car hop
on Wilshire scheme
Drugged on stardom
with toxic friends
What footlight’s start
— the darkness ends
(The New Room: June, 2025)
