The Cowboy

With flashbulbs popping, the starlit cowboy
Does his well practiced, red carpet entrance
Eyes, sweeping the paparazzi parade

Movie dust circles, his still silhouette
The extras, edging the dimming shadows
Drink his soft shining, left over passage

His borrowed lady, around rubber arm
Smiling, he waves, while his stolen heart fades
Unknown to all, an Oscar performance
