Muscle Poems

I was dancing

With nobody I knew

 

I was uncomfortable

Because you were that same way, too.

 

There was a long song

Between me and you

 

If we could have danced

It’d be all over, through

 

 

If I dance

The Earth throws us up

 

I grow up

To not stop the dance

 

If you dance

You smile

If you dance

I hum

 

If we dance

I’m no longer the only one

 

 

I was dancing

With nobody I knew

My life’s not easy

There’s no one

There’s no one

 

Each night I go out,

One missed chance or two

My life’s not easy

Because there’s plenty

Of those, too.
