for Rick Castro
Lou Tellegen plungd scissors
into his heart
Clara Blandick slid a plastic bag
over her head
Florence Lawrence ant paste
Pete Duel gun
John Belushi speedball
& the fliers
Irene from Knickerbocker Hotel
Peg Entwistle from Hollywood sign
wannabes & hasbeens
all took death
into their own hands
while other hands
gave death as a gift
to William Desmond Taylor & Elizabeth Short
Ramon Novarro & Sal Mineo
& in her quiet room
Carla Laemmle watchd it all go by
finally slipping into sleep at 104
