The Actor

The actor Tom Chance was an outstanding actor and friend I saw him play a professor dying of cancer The death scene was especially moving. Tom had cancer too that killed him a few months later I admired how he was able to separate The role of real life. Sometimes I wonder – I wasn’t there- when he died For real he was able to see it as an act He was going through. Tom was not famous when “resting” he worked As barman and mixed drinks with elegance. I liked tom he was my friend but was I the fig leaf Of his act, to give the impression, he wasn’t gay?
