it was Hollywood
he was a star in Hollywood
he had a star in Hollywood
the grovelinghandprintshe scrawled his name dotted the is
crossed the ts dated it he figured aside from his alreadydesigned headstone itd be the only
other place where a date commemorating him might be found
then he remembered he carved JW & SB inside a heart with his jackknife on
a tree in a park in his hometown pretty
obscure but that tree might have been cut downmight be nonexistent like the family house he grew up in razed a pretentious monstrosity erected in its place an Executive home maybe the builder-designer assumed Executives lack taste were attracted to obscene price tags
a tour bus drove past his house
it also drove past the terraced
hotel where his teenage sister committed suicide he was convincedtruly that her tragedy
would garner him fan sympathy and compassion help fortify and expand his base
since his parents were dead he
was able to quash the story that when she jumped she was stoned on his cocaine
what happens in
Hollywood costs plenty of dough to keep in Hollywood
one of thousands of dirty secretstens of thousands
in the naked city a Hollywood currency Hollywood blood money Sal Mineo Died for Our Sins Lionel Williams was Convicted for Our Sins
it takes a lot of scrubbingrubbing
spit and polish to keep stars shiny to keep them from tarnishing
he was a star
hed die before hed fade
