I'm completely infatuated.

Poets look more like movie stars, the better their poetry.
Poets look like movie stars: Their verse is tightened
by the makeup artists,
who themselves look like movie stars.

That what is meant by stars in poems.

:Every time you see the word star, see an actress in her prime.
And my prime, I mean in terms of looks.


That is true poetry.
The rest is celebratory
