“Paparazzi Pepperoni by Stewart Stafford

Gladiatrix in an algorithmic arena;
Jane of all trades, influencer of none,
Duckface pose in a selfie pout,
A zillion zombies waiting online.

Her fall from filtered grace was swift:
A subscribed intimate pact by proxy,
Fame, meat for a pixelated lupine mob,
Her downfall contracted in a dopamine hit.

Fire overnight, smouldering ruins by day,
Her virtual world crumbled around her,
Stepped off the ledge into digital oblivion,
Her fallen camera will fit another’s hand.

Posthumous branding in overdrive,
Her agent commodified the loss,
Only fans devoured the real her,
A paywall phantom on cyber-loop.
