"Up on housing project hill, it's either fortune or fame/you must pick one or the
other though neither of them are to be what they claim." (Pardon all the Dylan
quotes, must be the fact that he's just so ubiquitous all this year that he's so
easily on my lips.) It just kind of tells you how spiritually evolved our culture is,
that anyone with what is generally considered talent/gifts/genius is expected to want
to parade themselves in front of the world, as if the attention of the world (and all
the attendant stalkers lying in wait for you in the shadows) and all the riches it
holds would ever be enough to balance out the sheer joy you felt when you wrote your
first poem.
