@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Sijo For The Glide Of Their K-Pop Bare Feet [ /;\ ]
"When their slender, agile and shapely feet are bare,
"their performance is best---anytime, anywhere."
---Mimsy Borogove, "Review Of The New, The Dance They Do, In A Light That Is Cerulean Blue"
They wear long-sleeved white shirts and baggy gray slacks: their k-pop bare feet
trace, on the stage floor, choreographies befitting the sky's stars;
stars whose descendants these young men are, young men, in male to male love.

Thank you so much for that. I needed to write the sijo because Beauty is Beauty, whether among the stars or among the K-Pop boybands, and Poets' chief vocation---to be the Cosmos' voice as it explains itself to itself---includes declarations of Beauty. And, if there is some young man whose given nature is like mine, perhaps the poem will help him embrace, rather than fear, his attractions.
