lyrics
Character actor! Seen me all around.
Tucson fixture, that’s what you’ll hear.
A part I happily played for years.
Easily typecast. Know me before we meet.
Karaoke queen or front row at shows.
Have you heard now I sing songs of my own?
Here’s my number if you’d like to know more.
Auditioning for the gig I’d like most:
I can be a good friend.
What do you need? I’ll listen.
Always been a challenge to land a starring role.
Support only for season or two.
Maybe it’s my fault, forever on the move.
Except for twelve years on the same show.
Met many stars whose career it launched.
Your presence was the award.
Then had our final episode.
Character actor! Back to east studio.
New ensemble with returning faves.
Role with aspects of life’s phases.
Learning that support doesn’t mean bit part.
Especially for me, once 15 and shut.
Then the movie stopped. Stopped.
Cut off from cast while I watch from perch:
Scenes of couple bike rides, walking dogs.
While I’m stuck looping solo show about
fear of dying not as bad as life alone.
Better to keep rehearsing,
for what maybe’s returning?
Unplanned interactions mutually make our days.
Order Sunshine Donut; barrista
calls me “dear” and I erupt in smiles.
Maybe had a rough shift, so I make sure
they know that they're the brightest star.
