It is I, Gene Hackman’s mustache
(from The Conversation, 1974)
I straddle
his mouth like I’m
riding a motorcycle.
I play this part
for rhythm
& precision
& the salty dog feeling
of lips wrapped around
the tight cane tip
of the man’s
Sunday afternoon
saxophone.
Aaron Eckhart’s wig as a character actor
(from Erin Brockovich, 2000)
the lonely hair of the Everyman, this golden
crown. A pound of straw, a wheat
king
long
liquid sun.
