Back To Earth

Fame

Yesterday
he was on top of the world.

Centre of attention.
Talk of the town.

A real high-flyer.

Today
he's down.

There's nothing else to say.
He's had his day.

I carry him carefully
to the bin.

Lift the lid.
Put the boot in.


Note: This is the boot from yesterday's blip. It's popularity (and that it hit the Spotlight Page) was a real surprise. Thanks to all those who viewed and commented.

But fame is fleeting.
Life moves on.
He once had the X Factor.
Now it's gone.
