We’re all Gene Simmons,
with our little masks and monikers,
our monochrome painted faces,
our twitter handles and pseudonyms,
embracing and articulating extremes
for the sake of entertainment.

Someday the paint will fade
and K.I.S.S. won’t have another hit
and we’ll go back to the heels and glitz
and the gaudy stories of sexual conquests —
once the Oprah interview is concluded
and we’ve had our fifteen seconds.
