Stuck In A Box … Step

Dance like nobody’s watching, but don’t make your partner look bad!

That look that says (in no uncertain terms), “NO! I’ll lead and you follow!” (Image Source)

Forward together,
then sideways we’re going.
I’m back on my heels,
while you are tiptoeing.
Missteps our downfall,
both of our faults.
Time we admitted,
we suck at the waltz.

Inspired by Ana-Maria Schweitzer’s poem, “Strolling My City,” and prompt, “steps.” Thanks also to our hosts, Kathy Jacobs and me (🙃), and the rest of the talented Chalkboard team!

And now, Genesis (aka, Two Left Feet) sings “I Can’t Dance”
