World Famous & Legendary 2, Or, It’s All About Illusions🌈
Seen through the eyes
Of 80 flowing years
That do not recognize
One name, the claim:
‘World famous ‘, ‘Legendary”;
Words that play
Around with fame.
I read today, “He played with Zappa.”
Should I clap?
Where on the map is Zappa?
Pap: It’s pap to me,
This ‘famous/legendary’ crap
I’m reading daily.
How long is a piece of string?
How long is eternal fame?
Both abstractions; guess, dream, trap.
A Zappa of whom descendant’s offspring
Will not have a clue,
Fame and legend being
The illusion.
