“pencil me into your dance card”

he flirted with the idea spun a staircase or two \

lingered at the doorway where the bass shook \

my feet, were duct tape. i lined the walls as a reminder

of a lost trolley \ pushed up against the bathroom

after taking one more drink \ lingered at the doorway

because two familiar faces but turned tail because

unfamiliar places \ d:ink broken down into a D C G D

chord scheme \ these sweet children flirted with

7th chords \ the cuban

impalas reminded me

of when we held hands

chattering

about dance hall

and matcha

\let me

pencil

myself

in your

dance

card\

so, we can go out again

to zeta psi
