" SUICIDE ON BROADWAY "

" SUICIDE ON BROADWAY "

Dreary thoughts
           Draping drama,
Into the abyss
Of every,
          Staged,
                   Detail,
As the spotlight
      Dims,
And the dreariness
                   Under-studies
My every cue,
                    I recognize the feeling
Depression,
               It's on my tongue
                            To sing and dance,
Through Act IV
                  Scene IV,
Where the curtain begins
Closing,
           On the bloody
                         Bathtub scene,
Where,
         My waning confidence
Bleeds out,
                And slowly,
                                 Spirals,
Down,
        The drain,

Angels
         Applaud...

Tony Taylor.  (Chicago)

Hi Tony,

My stupidity!  A "suicide blonde" could never be Marilyn Monroe, because I think a lot of us know, that she was murdered, by some higher ups we won't talk about now.  That being said, I love your poem.  It is packed with emotion and illustrates the struggle of a beautiful actress coping with her innermost demons.  The only thing that gives me more joy, than reading your comments to me, is reading one of your masterful works of arts.  Three cheers, my dear friend. 

Peace, Rockets and Love,

xox Larry
