Fame

Lack of control
further demands
unreasonable
unnegociable
to live in some
far-off future
that never arrives
in the present
imperfect tense
impatient at

yet still unable
to rise or exit the skin
or to enter the sky
or even to read
one's own name
in foreign magazines
is not enough
never enough.
