Michael Jackson’s Hollywood Star

Dear King of Pop,
I tried so hard to see your star in Hollywood this weekend. I drove so long and endured hail and sleet and frogs flying from the sky (I think the end of the world is coming now that you’ve left us). But the line to see your star was so long, so out of control, all I could do was gaze from across the street. I know you were there somewhere amongst the flowers and pictures, the white gloves and red leather jackets, the pushy tourists and chatty anchormen… but I couldn’t find you. I hope we can meet one day. I promise to pay my respect by playing your music all week. Non-​stop. My favorite song is «Beat It» but I’ll probably play some other stuff too. And attempt the abbreviated Thriller dance from «13 Going on 30» just like Matty did it in that awkward, half-​heartedly way.
Not mattering if I’m black or white,
Jared
