Inside Andy Warhol's Tomb
   
  fame (seeking new bodies to possess),
  is the restless tenant.
   
  Warhol has always stayed dead, 
  save for his tongue, pink banner
   
  that watches over our world,
  a sad, endless mouthing of the words
  'I told you so'
   
  Like a sickening and a dying
  that go on forever
   
  II
   
  life peels the serpentine lime
  light, and, in the voice of a surgeon, probes,
 
  what time is it?
   
  the answer lies scribbled
 
  on all the headstones
  that have come to find homes
   
  in all of the world's burying places:
  fifteen minutes past
   
  fame. same as saying
  it
’s the next dreamer's turn.
   
  The banner over us all,
  remains nostalgia.
