Antoinette

Antoinette

the heart of her

not nearly as thin

as the veneer

she shines for her peers

adoration evolved

with the monies involved

falling for quicksilver's sin

rainbow festivities gaily begin

locks of her hair

form pride's tempting lair

she chooses herself 

pretty prize on the shelf

two faces the same 

like yin and the yang

balsamic, volcano erupts

applause from placard prompts

promoting pompous barony 

she has changed her name to ................

Tony.

The price of celebrity is too high-it kills both sexes as we find out every day. "The Persona" that is artifice is largely imposed, sometimes delusional. "Adoration evolved with the monies involved..quicksilver's sin"-lethal. Ask Prince, MJ, Whitney, Janis, etc., etc, etc......

A claiming of self, perhaps? An owning of contradictions and folly.

i hadn't thought about the "owning" of our "stuff"...but you strike at the heart of a life's lesson don't you ...once owned ..some changes may almost be automatic .. really appreciate your take on this one my friend!

What a melange of words. So perfectly fitted together to tell this story. I feel I understand this charcter so well now.
