Celebrity on the Tree of Life

for every human branch
at every point of time
assign a brightness
proportional to their degree of celebrity

(warhol's future
evenly distributed
in 15-minute bands)

note the frequency
of children inheriting
part of their parents' celebrity
or surpassing it

note celebrity hang-outs (locales)

note quantum leaps
in individuals' brightness
(vs more-gradual decays
even for proverbial
flashes-in-the-pan)

contributing factors:
brains beauty talent
wealth power
pr
virtue
vice

(make unfavorable celebrity shine red
favorable green
mixed yellow)
