Late night soft shoe
doing my best Fred Astaire
Using the stars to navigate
the eternal nocturnal stage
Just when I finally find
the elusive celestial groove
I trip over that moonbeam again
all the while pretending
my stumble was part of the act
Fortunately for me
this was a scene
played out
in the middle of nowhere
So only the darkness bore witness
to yet another embarrassment
in my life
of perpetual awkwardness
