072

They lined up, feeling fame was
their right 
and right
around the corner
for them.
And the worst part about it was,
the whole generation was sold the dream,
A chance at a famous fifteen
minutes -
and they ate it up like hotcakes
what had ever happened to embarrassment, humility, hard work, and failure, and dusting yourself off, and sweat,
and substance -
what had happened to substance?
'my last chance' they say,
'my last chance',
no!
did they forget? things take time?
maybe they were never told...
if it doesn't work out, work more.
if it still doesn't work out, move on.
if this is the American dream,
I don't want it..


* you know, i've never actually tried a hotcake, but I would like to someday see all the fuss is about ...-
