(3) Base Camp
The language is pretty simple, and Nye does us a favor by using lots of real life examples that are easy for us to imagine. On the other hand, though, with every stanza our focus shifts and the definition of fame expands some. There's no way we can grasp all these definitions—and how they contrast with one another—without a couple of readings. So once you're finished, start all over again. You'll probably want to anyway, because this poem is a joy.
