by sly trick or device
given quirks of
pop culture
you acquired some fame
fifteen minutes
to bask in the
half-hearted interest
of narrow minds
shallow souls
bored just as easily
as they’re amused
social media
leaves your
indelible scrapbook
to later look back
and ask of the past
what the hell
were you thinking
I do hope they really look back – they’ll get one hell of a shock if they ever look within!

Goodness, goodness–I do wonder if they look back and think anything at all. If I get 15 min, there won’t even be any blogs to refer back to.
