A Still Lady

So dainty how she held the tea cup,
sipping showing off manicured nails;
I walk in and fall with a thump; 

Hot spots splotch a face that pales,
yet never do they hear me scream;
I secure the win as ‘Graceful’ fails; 

So unrefined is how it may seem 
meeting the floor with my face;
Channeling poise I quickly redeem; 

Transformed by soft metamorphosis,
a still lady below the surface.
