27: paparazzi: photographers who work independently and follow celebrities to get photographs of them, often in an intrusive way (from Paparazzo, surname of this kind of photographer in the film La Dolce Vita, 1959, by Frederico Fellini; first known use of word in 1961)

The paparazzi stay away

From me—and I will tell you why:

No fame has reached me—any day—

And I would rarely tell a lie.

I can’t imagine what it’s like

To have them hound you, without rest.

You can’t just say, “Hey, take a hike!”

I think that sprinting off is best?!?!
