How Billy Writes A Play, By Ron. Lavalette

How Billy Writes A Play
By Ron. Lavalette

He chooses a theme and a pen.
The nib is crucial, especially
by the time he hits the third act
when he makes a fine point
on a dozen or so pencils for back-up.
He exposes the characters by stages,
methodically spilling ink on the script
here, blood in the storyline there, and
as their hearts resolve themselves
from paper into flesh, he beats
them into submission, his manuscript
their master, his work their play.
