Ivan Jenson

Supermarket Superstar

discovered in a supermarket
shopping for
deodorant
a new brush
and a candy bar
spotted by a scout
for the contours of
your amazing face
and promptly
signed to a contract
to appear
in an ad for
Maybelline
this has happened
but it is much
more likely
that you
will be lovingly
eyed by a stock boy
and never
even know it
