you can't be too thin, or too rich

you can't be
too thin
or too rich, someone said.
maybe Babe Paley,
or the Duchess of Windsor,
the name
escapes me
at the moment, but i think
she was
a good friend
of Truman Capote.
the little
gnome, famous for 
In Cold Blood
and Breakfast
at Tiffanys, but little else.
how he danced
his talent
away at night clubs,
and talk shows,
becoming a professional
celebrity.
fame is a fire you don't
want to walk
into.
the ashes will fill the air.
