Personal Paparazzo

 PERSONAL PAPARAZZO

We are the paparazzi of our lives.

            No one chases us.

                        We chase ourselves.

We sit down to a meal.

            We whip out our cellphone.

                        We snap a foto.

                                    We send it out.

            Isn't it a beautiful meal?

                        **********

We dress for an evening out.

            At arm's length

                        Our personal paparazzo

            Holds out the camera,

                        Smiles and hits send.

                                    How cool we look!

                        **********

Our fans want to know

            Where we are,

                        What we're eating,

                                    What we're wearing

                                                What we're doing.

            Perhaps our fans will wonder

                        Are we prettier than them?

            Are we having more fun than them?

                        **********

Or perhaps they don't want to know.

            But we want them to know.

We want to believe

            We have a personal fan base.

                        We want to believe they care.
