Famous
~ for T.C.
it's hard to be famous
super famous
not as famous
four times
famous
in my 30’s
that sounds so bad
but it's true
i was
into the big waves
what fame did or did not do
to the ones u related to best
who went before u
beautifully colored
meteor showers
crooked and crazed
broken and brave
u know the legend
garbo quit
carson
cold turkey
good bye
lucy
judy
we all got to see
their life trajectory
as the world watched
they lived their art
i found it impossible
i lost my balance
paddled to shore
i am now 43
as i was
(i have used the word
four times already)
and know
any religion
without kindness at it’s center
is not one
and know
there is something
very pure inside him
has always been
a yellow
core
& there is only one code
of honor
a decency
to maintain any perspective
that's famous

this is pretty cool, thanks.
though i think i prefer the rosie blog version. maybe. seemed more random and such.
I love Rosie and her blog, and the fact that it's always posted as random poetry.
