Almost Famous
I almost interviewed Maya Angelou
back in '96,
and almost married two millionaires
between 2000 and '03
I've seen celebrities
close enough to reach,
And chatted up a rock star, unknowingly,
so stoned I couldn't see
I dined with an African ambassador
who hated my tattoo
and my family history
has a colonizer or two
In almost 30 years,
I've been so close to fame,
but never once,
close enough
that you would know my name

Nicely done. I met Jesse Jackson. I could have, and didn't, meet G G Allin. Dr. Joyce Brothers told me to turn off my tape recorder during a lecture. And I kept former Reagan press secretary James Brady from the rest room at the Connecticut State House. I was "busy" in there, and former government wonks be damned, I'll finish. Even if he is in a wheelchair and attended by a nurse 24/7 after the attempt on Ronnie's life.
Wow. This sounds bad in retrospect.
He was good humored about it. When he saw the magazine under my arm, Brady said, with a grin, "So...in the library, eh?"
I offered him my mag. He politely declined...
A gentleman. |
