Her tongue slipping out of her mouth
Unable to recite another verse
as if it had unrolled temporarily in distraction
the red carpet for stars
of salivary movies to crawl
or walk down
and air discarded through parallel
nostrils plays the role of the press
the carbon dioxide paparrazi
shaking with anxiety and ready
to catch a glimpse of cellular fame
worth more than Monroe's glamour shot
particles either dissolved or airborne
with a need for knowledge
that she never could have given
anyway.
