Fame & Twitter
What happens to
all those calendar girls
the Hollywood celebs
the "influencers"
once they pass 30
and see their fortunes sag
like skin on a bull dog
their popularity goes
their 15 minutes of fame
over and done
will they have to get
a real job with no skills
go to work at Starbucks?
how sad they did not prepare
they thought a tattoo was all they needed
that Celebrity was a profession
with popularity gone
and names forgotten
now only a used commodity on Craigslist
like an old couch no one wants
how fleeting
fame & twitter.

It often makes me wonder if in twenty years time all those with tattoos may reconsider their move into skin art. Particularly those who bear the names of those who are no longer loved ones
