New poem: "The Movie Star"

 

The Movie Star

 

She reeks of an irreducible self-conceit

that`s toxic to my nerves, and I can’t stand

to watch her interviews, especially that smile

of hers when she enunciates her words giving

them more importance than their imagined

worth; and now that she’s “out,” thirty-five

years a flagrant open secret, she`s even more

noxious—so proud to be other, confirming

her ego-status as that special person she

believes herself to be. Oh, the pity!
