She walked with a pronounced
limp. Despite that,
I thought everything
would work out.
That’s silly,
but there was a streetscape
topped with beauty.
The black curls were bouncy, variable-
speed like fake rubber. No, she marches
upright, seriously real. I need to
dance but I am alone.

She walked with a pronounced limp. At first I thought this was going to be about the federal government.

That would be crawling with a pronounced limp, right?

It’s OK to dance alone, I do it all the time. You never know what can happen.

You are right, of course. It’s all right to do anything alone as long as it is for the good.
