I’LL WAIT


lick

All is quiet. 
Night is approaching. 
I see humans in the distance. 
And they have food. 
I’m hungry. 
There’s no hurry. 
I’ll just get comfortable.
Bide my time. 
They will still be there
When I’m ready. 
Lick, lick, lick,…

THE RAVEN'S LAST CHANCE

nitratediva:
Bela Lugosi recites some Poe in The Raven (1935).
The raven sits quietly while Lugosi reads the lines.
It sits as still as a lifeless statue.
But what if it isn’t lifeless?
What if it’s just waiting?
Waiting for the actor
to stop droning on.
For the room to become quiet
so that he could pounce on him.
The way he was supposed to
in The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.
He must perform for his namesake.
The world could use one less actor.
Couldn’t it?
Swoosh…
