No memory of having starred
Atones for later disregard,
Or keeps the end from being hard.
–Robert Frost
You're the water
I'm Narcissus
You're the source
Of all my wishes
When the pool
Begins to dry
That's when I
Begin to die
Everybody, look at me
Attention is the air I breathe
When my latest
Book won't sell
It's like the deepest
Ring of hell
People won't
Return my calls
Like Icarus
I fall and fall
Everybody, look at me
Attention is the air I breathe
I used to be
Among the guys
That everyone
Would recognize
Invisible
And seized with pain
As seasons turn
And fashions change
Everybody, look at me
Attention is the air I breathe
by Richard W. Bray
