In the park
a young actor
from the Village
reads for me
my own play
his gloves
wet with snow
tells me
the power is out
in Manhattan,
tonight off off
Broadway
is his debut
in a bowler hat
with a pipe,
yet does not show up,
the understudy
far more talented
is recognized
in the Voice
and becomes the star
without a rehearsal
such is fate
he said in Italian
of a reversal.
