The Models and the Mannequins

Movie stars and crashed cars

Movie stars and stolen cars
both set off the same alarms.
Star fucker's stroke magazine cover gloss away
contest speed dialing
for radio airplay.

The papparazzi's hit list
crowds actor and plaintiff
the papparazzi's contact sheet
pairs dancers
with friends of the deceased.
Stroke magazine cover gloss away
contest speed dialing
for radio airplay.
To bridal gowns in small towns
from pay phones in movie houses
they are told they don't have what they need
to be the photos that they read.
We blame Magazines.
