STARMAN
STARMAN
(by d.k.debell)
Androgynous, Erogenous, Prodigious at Everything;
The Man Who Fell To Earth, was a Seductive Goblin King –
The Plethora of Personalities & Music Swimming in his Brain;
Was Proof the Thin White Duke was more than just A Lad Insane.
Competitors & Contemporaries, Coveted & Admired his Craft with Awe;
Every Diamond Dog & Young American, Idolized his Repertoire –
Never Spoiled by Popularity or Jaded by his FAME;
Through all the Changes & the Golden Years, the STARMAN would Remain.
