He is not a genius
He is not a revelation
He is not groundbreaking
He is not in tune with the pulse of the nation
He is not the most attractive or best dressed
He is not ahead of his time
He is not the voice of his generation
He is not the most talented
He is not daring rebellious or on the cutting edge
He is not tremendously charismatic
He is not more in touch with the cosmic forces
He is not original
He is not a visionary
He is not a national treasure
He is not mysterious
He is not meticulous
He is not a legend or a hero
He is not the most savvy or quick-witted
He is not generous passionate or kind
He is not one of the great minds of the modern era
He is not even the hardest working
He just has the best agent
The Celebrity
Body Cavity Search
The body cavity search revealed
That we were concealing guidebooks
Scribed by our elders
That our loins were homing devices
Tracking the distance we have traveled
From our starseed
The prognosis from the MRI
Informed authorities that we were
Elaborate illusions of soft matter
Men in white robes poked and prodded us
Took stool samples and CAT scans
In a paranoid search for a cure to
Their own impermanence
They read charts x-rays sonograms
That offered them contradictory results
They did not consider closing their own eyes
And listening to the polyrhythms of their own
Aorta channeling rain into blood
Their meticulous research taught them only
That one can receive grants and appear important
Without knowing anything at all
