hollywood

they give
out awards for pretending to be
someone
they aren't.
while
the grocery clerk
goes unnoticed.
the mechanic,
the baker.
the janitor.
the woman at the wheel
of a bus.
the mother
raising a child,
the father
in the coal mine.
they are exactly who
they are,
no fake personae there,
no need to say
look at me,
no need to shine.
