Movie Actors Scribbling Letters
Very Fast in Crucial Scenes
The velocity with which they write—
Don’t you know it? It’s from the heart!
They are acting the whole part out.
Love! has taken them up—
Like writing to god in the night.
Meet me! I’m dying! Come at once!
The crisis is on them, the shock
Drives from the nerve to the pen,
Pours from the blood into ink
