Five Thoughts on the Nature of Dancing

1.Dance is a dangerous word.

2.If you’ve seen West Side Story
you know what I mean.

3.Some call fighting dancing.
And it is, being only a movement of limbs
with a beat of fist on skin.

4.Or on the dance floor, flashing
lights and music, body moving.
Spearing eyes and hearts with looks.

5.Either way, a good dance leaves
someone bleeding.
