in-between takes and too-high stakes

Having been a background extra, I was glad to see a post.

We’d get imdb credit that we all wanted the most.

I drove a ways to get there, saw some people that I knew.

A charismatic worker had such knowledge for his youth.

He passed out props, worked stand-in, picked my wardrobe, this and more.

I liked the sharp intensity he effortlessly bore.

The fact that he died instantly while driving home that week

was surely consolation, but I’d rather he’d have peaked.

I got that credit promised on the imdb site,

but equally important I met Adam on that night.
