Famous

Live from Hialeah
it’s Manny Ortega,
please hold your applause,
not because of any desire on my part to exercise modesty.
Modesty is innate to those without a
face well known in all fifty states and beyond,
we who humbly live in the shadows
of gods flickering from screens
giving us relenting dreams,
unattainable dreams.
Fifteen minutes of fame,
the goal is set in our brain,
please show me the way
Kim Kardashian my guide
in your eight inch heels
I will walk a mile
and the crowd goes wild
and the flashes glitter.
I have arrived
and the moment is now
you may applaud.
