I USED TO DANCE

I USED TO DANCE
I knew
I’d better learn to dance
I never knew how much was required
Or how long the music would last
I didn’t know how to catch
A segue before being trapped
On a dance floor or
Lost in drumbeats and bass lines
I used to dance… or
There was a dance
I used to do
There was a time
I used to dance the electric slide

"The better part of valor is discretion, in the which better part I have saved my life."
Post-Romantic Bop
She avoids my eyes like there’s
Something she doesn’t want to say
I don’t know what it is
I’m not going to ask
It’s bad strategy
Either she’ll pull it up and spit it out
Or we’ll leave it like that
First it seemed incidental
Now it’s intentional ...
