THE TANGO
Mike Berger, PhD
Music filled the dimly lit room.
The latin beat invited us to dance.
I took her in my arms and began
to slide. She followed my every
move. Her dark brown eyes were
fixed on mine. We slid sideways
in classical tango steps.
My hand caressed her back as
her body pressed against mine.
She moved with catlike grace
as the music resounded the
tango pace. Her cheeks were
flushed and lips had a subtle
pucker. They were inviting a
kiss. As the music stopped I
held her tight. It’s just too bad that
she’s just an inflatable woman.
