How Poetic: Truman Ego

As some of you may have guess,
this past summer was one of my driest writing periods
since I began pursuing my career as a novelist.
In hopes of curing this, I'm turning back to poetry.
I'm rusty, as expected, and would greatly appreciate
your feedback on this poem.
[If this doesn't pan out, I'll probably attempt
to assemble a post-college writing group or something.]
Thanks in advance/

What can be said of a seven year old in '97
who imagines his life to be the Truman Show
before he has any idea Jim Carrey could be a dramatic actor?
Purely over-imaginative?
Narcissistic?
But what child doesn't think the world revolves around them?
Even teenagers - and certainly a few educated adults -
still believe this to hold true.
But for a child to insist there's a camera hidden
near the vicinity of his night light -
because it needs the best lighting at all times
even if at the expense of a better angle -
requires at least a gallon of creative juices.
To him, it's a perfect example of how God always
watches over us - except he can shoot from any angle,
any time of day and have the perfect amount of exposure.
He is God, after all.

But who manned these cameras, the boy would wonder.
Who's so interested in my life? I must truly be awesome.
It doesn't take a montage or dramatic voice-over
to indicate the boy will develop an overgrown ego,
often playing to his fans he must have scattered across the globe
though he never manages to find a single lens
hidden behind a hanging photo or bundle of dirty laundry
 to reaffirm his celebrity status.

Unable to determine how captivated his television audience may be,
he takes his show on the road: first stop, school.
He fails to realize, however, that he is no child actor.
If his intuition is spot on, he's nothing more than a reality star
putting the prior casts of the Real World to shame.
Either way, watching him fail to impress a girl in his class
only to have her male suitor and best friend supply him with a wedgie
is much more entertaining while in the live audience.
Shortly after, the boy cancels his tour
and returns to a life where he is not necessarily the star.
Meanwhile a pair of graying angels chuckle at their grandson's short comings
as they take a break from eternal glory to enjoy one of their favorite programs.
