THIS IS WHAT A CELEBRITY WOULD SEE

THIS IS WHAT A CELEBRITY WOULD SEE

A Poem by Matt Burns

Out in the great wide open highway

The dead of winter

Passing by big boulders

A random house or two with small satellite dishes

Cold

Salty

Pale

Highway


If a celebrity were going on this road trip

They’d be seeing what I’m seeing

Their experience wouldn’t be any more magical

It would be just as dreary


The drone of the car

Rubber wheels against the pavement

Cold, icy, dead scenery

It would be the same

All this is what a celebrity would see

But somehow this world seems like my world

And their world seems like it would be something else

But that’s not the case

This is what a celebrity would see

It is interesting how points of views differ with status or education and in this case celebrities which is by fame or fortune. A powerful write...:).......

I'm not sure about that. Most celebrities aren't artists, and they may in fact be too impervious to genuine emotions to FEEL dreariness. They'd most likely be fixing their makeup in the mirror while the scene passes by.

Love the piece though. It has a roadtrip/underground feel to it.

Observent, and true. Celebrities are just like you are. Perhaps I am a celebrity and know this for fact. Intriguing.
