Silhouette
Silhouette
Written: by Tom Wright
January 2015
A country singer
Led on stage by balloon bouquet,
Spotlights Silhouette her body
On the wall behind;
As she faces a sea of noise
Or canned noise
Since she can’t see;
Thick rising stage fog
Begins to envelope her body
As the show begins;
Just another night, another city,
Another payday;
How ironic, would it be
If she stood alone lip-syncing
To a screaming crowd that didn’t exist.
Who then would be the counterfeit one?
