"Can We Dance?" I Asked ... If You Won't I Will

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I asked the words
               to dance
but they were all
         wallflowers

So I had the dance
                     floor
             to myself

I owned the dance
                     floor
    I loved it and it
              loved me

But no one saw it
    or read a word
                about it

(damn those wallflowers)
   
               Because
 none was written

         And no one
 could hear my feet   

                 Happy
        as they were

               My eyes
were twice as sad

              My soul
    put up a picket fence          
   and put locks on all       
              the doors 

                   Until
the spirit moves me    
            and I visit the      
            neighbors

       I ask them to
                    dance  
 and they send me 
                    home 

                     ***

                 I think I know why    
                                         I
                                      did
                                     this

It happens when happy feet
                     make only one
                        person happy
