lets dance

you may have seen me
around town,
I've seen
seen you too, when
we intersect in common bars
and light cigarettes outside
the place like displays and advertisements
and groove to classics with a pinch of bitter
in our clothes and throw ourselves against the wall
in cheap anger and discontent
and tear like paper and weep,
then you
and i hold each other
like entwined souls in smoky real time.
