Incidental
Oh naive little actor,
to get into character you must research.
You must explore the motive,
you must understand the history. The story.
You’re too loud and too young to be me.
Make no mistake I can raise my voice,
but I detest classless static and noise.
You barely know me, I keep to myself.
So keep quiet. You bore me.
You’re like the rest. Talking blindly.
Oh walk on character,
you can’t star you don’t know the start.
Assumption is a balloon full of hot air.
Quiet, Your vapor wasn’t even there
in the early chapters.
Please don’t mistake your scrabbly role
it’s not a lead, you’re incidental.
Filler dialogue. That’s okay though,
someone has to say it.
Oh you pliable entertainer
didn’t they ever tell you to READ?!
Every script has its start on paper.
You would be nowhere
if I didn’t put you there.
You’re like the rest. Talking blindly.
So keep quiet. You bore me.
