seeing a star in person

i was in a book
store once, in new york city,
columbia
circle.
i saw a television
star
browsing
the shelves, his dog at
his side.
calm and on a leash.
smart and as sophisticated
as his owner,
i imagined.
i stared as most would
at seeing
a star in the flesh,
but then moved on, 
thinking about my own
dog,
running in the dirt yard,
barking madly at a cat,
behind the chain
linked fence.
