Actors All
            by Odin Roark

To fool
Or be fooled
Innate competition for
Life’s continuance sweepstakes

Real life’s honesty
Knows survival of the fittest
Relies on impression’s armament
One’s tightly woven costume of persuasion 
Ever ready to defend strategy’s patience

Curtains rise

Settings come...

Dull eyes, broken smile
Fake laugh, pretend friends
I lie, I’m not okay
I pretend that I don’t care
An actor is all I am
When night falls, I am myself
I don’t hold back, I don’t pretend
No one cares, I know this now
An actor is all I am...

the actors 
are much better now

the stage is set
invisible
the lighting is lit
natural
the costumes are stitched
realistic

they are 

all around you
beautiful
believable
trusting

listen closely
and
squint your eyes 
to see them

or just 
trust me...

An Actor`s life 
My life as an artist lasted long although no one saw me acting
only that my behaviour changed if I had read a book and liked
the hero in it, or seen a western movie; became that person.
I could remember pages of lines from...

Houses have lowered curtains like eyelashes,

and the silence has ascended on the solemn throne.

In windows of an old circus are indistinct persons,

unfamiliar songs and mysterious peals of bells.

Perhaps this is a banquet or wedding of a circus actor?

But needles of light stick into the night.

His name does noy ring a bell
But,good acting helped his film's sell-
Good looks were never his..
Though always worth his hire,
Winning an oscar,with Streetcar named Desire

Tribute To Karl Malden (1912-2009) One of the best  of Hollywood's supporting actors...

All actors trailed by actresses
Know the best way to the tunnels
Is to already be within the
Big Ring that secures this
Magic KINGDOMCUM.
It's not about looking
Through the window and
Getting past the DACS, 
Or going back to where 
I want to end up.
On the grand tour
I could get...

That's what Children are,
Actors upon a stage
Sometimes, behaving as
if they've been let out of
a cage
Periodically, experiencing
fits of rage
As they, in their Playtime,
do engage
Having the tendency to act
a bit beyond their age
Until they turn in a chapter
of LIFE, to another page...

People may frighten us by making shouts.
Often, they threaten us throwing big bouts.
Remain composed.
Don't get exposed.
Patience and silence are the best knockouts!



A deaf ass meets a dumb tiger, one day.
The tiger pretends to growl at his prey.
It believes that the ass hears.
The ass fakes as...

She’s a quick study 
Whose Understudy
Understands: She
Needs not Study
Or Overstudy,
Study Steadily,
Or Study Readily,
She’s always Ready,
She Studies Steadily,
And studies Regularly,
UnTil You’re Ready
Really ready 
To go steady.

If Still not ready
To go steady? 
She won’t sweat it;
Won’t regret it.
She’ll just Discredit 
With Your Understudy....

Once, I was an actress;
one of the most talented of my age.
Often think about those times;
up upon the stage.

Confidence consumed me when
costumes I would dress,
My father often did proclaim-
"A natural born actress".

Enjoy the clips of slammers;
those actors whom are writers,
are so brave with their new...
