The International Space Station

Was supposed to pass by tonight.

I suppose it still did, even if I couldn't see it;

Where else could it have gone besides on-by?

It did not spin out into space,

Or abandon its path. 

It was just hidden behind dense, blue-grey clouds. 

And as I pass by,

Orbiting, step by step,

I will do as the International Space Station does:

I will stay on course.
