The show must go on.

All of my friends are performers
in one way or another.
i've got actors and actresses
who can convince you of anything.
I've got models
who don't know which face is really theirs.
i have artists
who can't say what they feel out loud,
and who can only say what is really in their mind
through metaphors and big showy vocabulary.
I've got trapeeze artists
always on the edge of the high wire,
looking down in wincing glances
to see if anyone is actually watching.
We're all here for the show.
We are the entertainment.
We are the stars.
Just watch the people in their cars.
