Late night soft shoe
doing my best Fred Astaire
Using illuminating starscape
to deftly navigate
the nocturnal stage
Just when I finally find
the elusive celestial groove
I trip and stumble
over that cruel
#moonbeam again
all the while pretending
my unscripted tumble
was part of the act
Fortunately
for humiliated me
this tragic scene
played out
in the middle of nowhere
So only the darkness
would bear witness
to yet another embarrassment
in my modest life
of perpetual awkwardness
