Extra Ordinary

Although I arrived in my mile-long limousine

amid a storm of camera flash lightning and wailing

pleas, ‘Look here! Over here!’, and with

my customary flutter all around, confetti-like, of fans

awash in sycophantic swirls of yearning whirlwind flight,

you needn’t be intimidated by my entourage and air

of mystical perfection, for I am quite ordinary too

and put on my pants one three-thousand-dollar leg

at a time, just the same way that you do
