f-stopping by the cafe, but not a snowy evening

Parody of the Robert Frost classic,
dedicated to ‘Josh’s Lovely Groupies’

whose hands these are i think i know
beauteous fans of the singing beau
they do not see me shooting here
on a different night I’d say hello

my camera lens must think it queer
to stop the focus ring so near
between my eye and sharp stage light
on hands that usually serve me beer

it blinks the focus warning bright
to ask if what it sees is right
it doesn’t see their festive glow:
rich auras from enjoying the night

i then move on, even though
i long to join them in that row
but there’s shots to take before I go
more shots to take before I go
