" Quasi-Stars "...

Quasi-stars
feeling
unbothered
by gossip
columns
sitcoms
and blogs

while
creeping
beneath
the radar
at super-
markets

neither
satirically
nor
sincerely
via
obscurity

making
perfunctory
appearances
streaming
live in sweats
and sneakers

debunking
non-celebrities
from a once-steamy
previous era
of unleashed:
"Come up an' see me!"
post "talkies"
"My little chickadee!"...
