Sometimes stars look plastic, like all
the people on tv with
those silicone boobs
and resin smiles.
Disposable.
I think it's rude that
they can walk around with
cheap masks and painted
faces, as if
no one leaves the set.
Life really does imitate
art, but this is some slapped
together knockoff you can find
on every street corner.
What's wrong with being
bare to the world, all raw
soul and life.
At least we won't be
suffocating under this
oily sheen of perfection.
