​A series of Haikus about building the set for Rumors

By Isabel Randazzo

I
 
When building a set,
Wear clothes you don’t care about,
Give up hopes and dreams
 
II
 
Make one cool design
That isn’t feasible to do
Make another one
 
III
 
The ground plan is done.
“How soon will this be ready?”
Asks the director
 
IV
 
Paint a lot of things
Get covered in sawdust too
Do not sleep at all
 
V
 
Molding forever
As soon as you think you’re done
Do some more molding
 
VI
 
Close to being done
Now to just hang this mirror
Takes two damn hours
 
VII
 
The set never ends
But thanks to all who helped out
Hell yeah we did it
