how dare they be like us

as
the stars fall
into illness and old age,
stepping
into
their graves, we ponder
our own
mortality,
these people seemed
forever.
their movies
always on the screen.
forever
young,
forever vital and strong.
we saw
them as children,
then older and older
but less on
the marquee.
how dare
they be like us
and age.
