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.

I think that answer lie's within each and every one of us. We all know that sense of when we expect and then something else comes instead. I think I feel the strings being pulled and I'm not in control. Peace. :)
