Celebrity Culture Poem by M.J. Lemon

What it means is
learning things the
peasants already know
because they have the experience
--how life blows--
the knowledge the feel
for the real
Thou shalt not steal
means accepting a fair wage
and declining rage
when boarding flights
in times when that's possible
but for some it isn't
impossible to jump on the beam
and expect to fly
to think it is
to do it (after all)
to stay in one piece
without slapping the
ground face first
(Law of Gravity! Laws?
Laws don't apply!)
then having to be tied and bound
by steel and gauze and the most
brilliant surgeon's hands
only to...
learn the lesson?
You might shout but
from where you are
down below
does it, can it, matter
as your whispers scatter
who can hear...
