Waking up from an actor’s nightmare

For Joseph Conrad, Francis Ford Coppola and all the WGA writers and SAG-AFTRA actors who have been rocking the picket lines since May 2.

Chelsea

Shit

I’m still in Chelsea

When I was on location

All I wanted was to get back to the city

And when I was in the city

All I wanted was to get back on location

I needed a role

And somehow

Despite the strike

After forever and a Labor Day

I got one

And when it’s done

I can’t wait for another
