Fame

addiction and fame
addicted to fame
addiction is the other side of fame
the road to fame is addiction
addiction is the arrival of fame
the cliff, the precipice, the drop off
as sheep into the sea
fame will lead you through addiction \to that ever eternity
what and how you do in this life is the path to your next?
pacifying the pain in a looking for a next pipe?
or made what kind of whole off what unshorn pieces?
who knows

I just know that my fame is to buy me peace and spaces set apart
from demons and other death dwellers, dark salesmen and grifter women
beaches in the caribbean or oxygenated air in jordan
black sea minerals to rub in israel
the cacao of the mayan
or bush of the kalihari
just sun and sea
the black hole and merry centered me

my fame is a ticket to freedom, not the lottery
"Having it all can leave you with nothing at all"*
go back to your civil rights and anti slavery
we keep forgetting so life keeps taking its toll.
something will be paid

do we pay for distance and risk space
or pay for trouble to come?
on the hooves, hide and riding the backs of fame
