Celebrity
He walks around my neighborhood
And no one gives a glance,
Though crowds would surely show
If they had notice in advance.
He’s always studying a script
And reading as he’s strolling,
But no one stops for autographs
Or fawning or extolling.
I see his face on advertisements
For his TV show;
In person he looks just the same,
His tan the perfect glow.
I wonder if this actor, though,
Is miffed or just surprised
That he walks the streets where he resides
And goes unrecognized.
