SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE

 

widows kiss

parking lot attendant--

maybe tonight. . .

 

Julliard-degreed

she does the two-step

with aplomb

 

out-of-state Reserves

sample local scene

moon chaperone

 

bold redneck

teaching dance instructor

a new step

 

popular band lures

woodsmen to town--

hounds in pickup

 

old men sit and smoke

dream of other nights

jitterbug

 

lonely in a crowd--

lovers cling

to saxophone wail

 

frogs croak louder

band sounds fainter--

going home early

~~
