An actress…duds off…
Male lead, too…
Virtual strangers to each other,
Rehearsed the mechanics of intimacy,
Over and over
For the final take…
Every rub and every touch.
And practicing this near sex,
This very nearly real sex,
All for cinema verite,
Who could say,
Once the film was in the can…
And intimate with her spouse again…
She thought of him
Or her leading man.
