Awk

You feel awkward
you stumble, fumble
your brain doesn't fumble
your fingers fly
light up a thousand screen
taptaptap
and another wave
of adulation,
emulation,
applause,
sweeps across the
comment mire
and a thousand fans
flutter their applause

Some day your awk
will ward away
your fumble will fall
your stumble will stall
the burst of light
that brings
will outshine
even that smile
