THE ACTRESS / WAITRESS (original version)
She will take any role
To become someone else
for a few days… a few weeks…
a few months…
Or if she’s lucky
The length of time it takes
to shoot an ambitious movie
THE ACTRESS / WAITRESS (Tanka version)
She lives for her roles
Forgets herself for a day
a week…a month…or
With some luck, the time it takes
to make a movie, perhaps?
