a good day is when a Betty Davis movie is on
because in the gold ole days
she real was the big one, bigger than Jean Arthur
she played it all
traumatizing
tantalizing
outrageous
spoiled
demanding
and, always so memorable

Wonder why she dress in limitations of black face for Halloween
for laughs
she claimed, as reminisce and spilled to Mike Douglas or, was it, Merv
why?
this woman knew costumes – while in the MGM stable, she played everything
from the Queen (the Virgin ) Elizabeth to a cockney whore Of Human Bonadage
she played the old maid, but never the real maid

she was allowed range

and, all the glamor, as her eyeballs escaped their sockets (the unfair advantage of a thyroid condition),

so, she soared,
sad this proof exists on the internet
this dark victory
