Sensory Deprivation Flirtation

"You speak to me in radio-waves,

in transmissions cracked asunder

by intermittent storms and thunder,

but I'm just one of your fashion-slaves

and I never see you.

 

You come to me in limousines

but, high above you, jet-planes roar

just when you're speeding to my door,

looking like you do in magazines,

and I still don't hear you.

 

You open a door behind me

but lightning kills electricity

and you stand there in obscurity,

wondering how you'll ever find me,

and somehow I can feel you here."

stactic from the red carpet

flirt with the stars and settle for notional returns. Wild topic Nancy...wild. In ink Dabbler ps there are talents that give back as well,even if it for questionable reasons.

reply to comment from Dabbler

I do write in the first person a lot because of the immediacy and the ability to utilize more idiomatic english than the more conventional usage. I certainly admire the courage and talent of the famous and I think it's a pity that so many of them have to sacrifice the rights that the rest of us take for granted. This attempt to get inside the mind of a fan is intended to make those kinds of people think twice about what they are doing to the living persons that they are idolizing.

There are stars that do it for them selves and stars

that do it for their fans either of which can go to extremes they either go to far into themselves or are torn open by their fans...that is why a reputiable press agent helps and aides help the super star celebrities balence the role of talent
