15 Minutes
By: Joi Maree Flowers
When the lights are cut on
There they are
Faces of those known and unknown
Smiling with every word that ejects from your mouth
Applauding you for every recognition received
Then around you
Heard not a sound
Felt not a presence
When those 15 minutes of fame expire
And those once bright lights dim to black
And nothing
Not even a whisper
Is heard in the darkness
And again you're alone
And again unknown
