Life of a model

It's all about
Those five minutes
Of performance.
The world may break loose
Before and after.
You maybe a no one
At all other times.
It is in show
You gotta be fine.
The right emotion
Delivered
With right expression.
In that one minute to fame.
On ramp.
In gallery.
In a photograph.
Where you are
A name.
Inside
A whirlwind may run.
While in performance
Everyone is a Hun.
You gotta smile
And walk by
And say Hi
And keep upstide.
The posture!
The gestures.
Everything
Gotta be
Fine.
A show must go on.
The twinkle may sell on.
What is lost
Is the soul.
The feelings.
In a dark hole.
Gradually
Becoming stone.
One by one.
Piece by piece.
What is repressed
Is love beneath.
Shrouded with the lights
Of smile
And postures.
And fame.
A name.
