FOUR TAKES

FOUR TAKES

It's a dark and stormy night.

Cut.

It's a sad and moonless night.

Cut.

It's a rainy night in Georgia.

Cut.

This isn't Georgia,

Ray Charles has left the building,

storms passed,

lightning and thunder ceased.

Nothing left now

but slow rhythm of rain,

one distant wailing train song,

Hank Williams pain song,

somebody done somebody

wrong song.

I fall

asleep.

Cut.
