Charles Ardinger

The Star


He saw himself reading this poem about himself
In a movie he was the hero of. He wrote it
By the light reflecting from the screen. The light
Flickered as the words danced around in his mind.
The words formed lines. He read the words into a microphone
As he watched himself. These words repeated.
He repeated these words as he read them to himself
In the movie about the poem he wrote. He recognized.
