Jotting Down the Stars

I love to dream,
to jot down the stars
but not those
in the sky.
The ones in movieland
will never stop
amazing me. They
are the real bodies--
each with its own
celestial name, face,
talents and faults.
They own unusual
houses, numerous
garages pregnant
with clever cars, then
swimming pools and
all the other trappings
of high-income
lifestyles. I suppose
high stress levels
accompany the incomes,
but, who really knows?
I sometimes have high
stress with a low income!
Yes, I love to dream,
to jot down the stars,
but sometimes I
wonder
if they're shooting
or falling.

...well written your words...thoughts projected on paper...and ink of the trades to become the imagination of reality for many...a screen somewhat hidden...in view of the stars.

good stuff Randall...

Randy,
I wonder as well. I have a fantastic 'print' of Marilyn Monroe, one of my favs. Thought provoking piece that you have written. Janet
