The Fan from Elsewhere

  


Foundation of the piece.

Logline

Is the true cost of fame worth the unspoken truth of celebrity status?


We all must know at least one celebrity from one platform, who crossed over after shaking Fame's seductive hard.


From music, art, film and literature. 


The many doors which open, also has tables like ones in The Banquet of the Gods.


Spilling with all known temptations.  


Light and dark.


(A lone voice whispers)


Under an old wooden White Cross

Stood smiling


In a field  

Full of rolling weeds and green moss


Clutching a white rose  

With capricious eyes, that whispered


Come across

To me

I saw her  

Standing all the way back

As I drank in the scene


Like a radiant goddess


From The Great In-Between  

Sat in the fourth row


Watching  

One of our favorite new cinematic greats


In our interconnected news feed


Called  

Life's Great Picture Shows  



And like a new Marilyn Monroe

The new Love Parade Face 

Of Gucci  



This new star of the moment

Radiated such intense subliminal beauty


But what many didn't know  

Her family and friends


And all those others we see  

Who pretend


We 

The Silent Ghostly Watchers 


Ancestors

Old dead lovers

And otherworldly fans


Spirits like me

Scrutinizing her movie


Know


Her innate talents will soon send her


Where the Starlinks fly


Up to The High Places


Where all Real-Time Dreamers

Go

After they've been partying with pure white ...snow
