Remembering Salinger

What would fame bring
what would it change
One iota of truth
the stoppage of rain

Living exposed
the arrows to sling
You know what you know
whether knave or a king

Accolades fall
slaps on the back
Stumble or stall
and your patron's attack

Life in the shadows
freedom proclaimed
Famously absent
-yourself to ordain
