(You Look Very Familiar)
While you were making
your grand entrance
shining in regal ascendence
to assume your rightful place
as the light dimmed
and all fell silent
with awe and respect
I once again suffered
my private embarrassment
that though you looked
so very familiar
I could not remember
if you were a star
or a planet
and all I could do
was study your movement
long enough to make sure
your elegant saunter across the night sky
was not an attempt
at a graceful landing
at the airport.
Please forgive me,
your name again?
