A witch in Port au Prince or something like
Her hints the spell required. This spell defies
Both death and time. It operates its spike,
Injecting magic botox near the eyes
And in the film star’s forehead by P.R.
The actor and executives conspire
To cast the spell. The actress makes a star
From attitude colluding with the pyre
The studio has built to alter facts.
It changes names and hair, and carves a nose,
And covers up the past. Candor detracts
From glamour. Someone has to strike a pose.
The personality created takes
A body and revamps it till truth aches.
