DANCING
(the danse Macabre, in my head)

CEE

I said I never would
But, know we waste of Youth’s certainty,
Of course I danced!
Not because all but certain demographics
Value it,
Not as a way to get laid, either
I danced alone, much of the time
Morrie of Tuesday fame
I did so in public
And as my body took me
Followed no steps, learned none, obeyed none
Pop screamed at me, for not learning the ballroom
Shit,
I danced like Fred Flintstone and Elaine Benes
Tommy Tutone high-kicking through Life
Not on a dance floor, NOT on a dance floor
NOT ON A DANCE FLOOR

Not for Others, not with Others, dancing was
Not about “others”
The Dance, as almost any culture/legend/human
Will tell you,
Is “that within”, sadness, joy, frustration,
Celebration, exultation or pain
Coming full to fore of your body,
RPG, but really You
Pretending at last no more            Blasting Self!
Through every pore
Of course, nonfriends...I danced, in Life
I danced as you’re s’posed to
I danced Alone
