…In the parking lot outside the local `Whole Foods`, 2015 10 24

Chance

I remember practising before the
Bathroom mirror, in the

Plexiglas at the bus stop—
Surreptitiously — and endlessly
In my imagination. I readied

Myself to answer any call
That called for a cool dance

Move.

It was always when I was
Most ready, that no
Opportunity presented itself.

Then on one occasion,
Late one autumn afternoon,

Just outside the entrance to the Coffee shop nearest school, I Sensed its approach.

Someone beat me to it.
