a writer rambles

I wrote a script

a God damn good script!

it shoulda been an award winner

it shoulda been up for a fucking OSCAR

but they gave it

to “this guy”

who was hot 

at the time

and he wanted 

changes

and that meant

tearing the heart

and soul

out of

my script

but I thought

(at the time)

okay

this

is gonna get me

recognized

respected

more gigs

but it didn’t

because

the movie

flopped

and then

the so called “star”

got busted

on a kiddie porn

morals charge

and everybody 

associated 

with him

got screwed 

as a result

and that

is why I’m here

writing shitty jokes

for shitty Las Vegas comics

when I should be

in the pantheons

of the greats
