Dandelion Dancer

For Alison and Amanda

dandelion dancer---
lone blonde afro amongst
a sea of astroturf blades,
pupils of the latest trend,
disciples of pop-culture craze,
flare your skirt.

dandelion maverick---
lone blonde afro amongst
masses of nylon flowers
abundant in a plastic vase
like Andy Warhol's soup cans,
fling your arms.

dandelion dancer---
dance your rendition
of the tarantula tango,
the lone premier presentation
of a lone blonde snowflake
dancing.

dandelion dancer---
dance.
