Supporting CastennWhen the credits finally roll for this, the worst story ever told, ndon’t bother sifting through the names for yours or anyone you know. nUnless they were by chance a shepherd king, a virgin birth, na resurrection, a messianic prince or some such childish thing. nYou can storm the edit suite or move to block its theatrical release, nbut I think we can safely guarantee nthat there will be no revisions nto the script made on behalf of a supporting cast(e). nnBecause history exalts only the pornography of force–that of murderers nand psychopaths (the rest of us, of course, nstricken from the narrative wholesale: a back drop to the tale)nas we, the two-bits, are ushered on and swiftly off nthis stage with the jawbones of asses. nNo stirring curtain call for the masses. nNo floral bouquet. nNo breaking of legs. nNo recurring role. nNo artistic control. nnAnd so in these days, in this terminal phase, nit’s all left to chance. nA piece of advice: if you’re cast on thin ice, nyou may as well dance. nDo what you feel you must, nbut as for me I was not put upon this earth to subjugate or serve.
