Workless Bum

TERMINATOR 5 has wrapped the filming in New Orleans. Arnold Schwartzernegger has returned to California and the director flew back to New York and Fort Greene. We planned to meet for wine next week in the neighborhood.

“I’ll be unemployed like you.” He had nothing on his schedule.

“It’s been a long slow summer.” I was glad to see the coming of September.

That month signals the start of money and I haven’t worked since the end of June.

“Arnold must be unemployed too.”

“He might be.”

“Maybe he wants to hang out with us.”

“Three bums.”

“Arnold doesn’t think of himself as a bum.”

“Neither would I, if I was the star of T5 or its director.”

“And what about you?”

“I’m a bum.”

We seemed more numerous during the dog days of August.

I hope we’re one less next month.

My fingers are crossed for good luck.
