Two days in Albuquerque (Found Poem - Creem Magazine)

And the walls are beginning to close in.
Still waiting for Jaffee to find out
if Roeg will talk to us.
Supposed to meet us in the bar at 9
last night to give us an answer
but he never showed.
Returning to the room at 11:30
we spent half the night trying to call him,
but apparently he was amorizing
in someone else's suite.

Impact cut to: medium shot of the door bursting open
and John rushing in.
"He's out there, I just saw him!"
"Let's go."

Cut to: tracking shot.
A figure in green jumpsuit walks down the dim corridor.
As he passes the glass doors leading outside,
a flood of evening light illuminates him.
The shock of red hair alone is enough to identify him as
David Bowie. His shoulders rock from side to side
and he has the springy step of one endowed with
an overabundance of energy, even though
he has just completed
a full day's shooting
in 90 degree heat.
Stopping in front of a room, he knocks
but gets no response.
As he turns to leave,
he meets the reporters who have trailed him
here and are ready to pounce
like diamond dogs.

  1. You've managed to cut this together greatly while still keeping it clear as a "found poem." Well done
