Tango

 

It’s a messy

Tango

She’s in

One step

Forward

Two to

The side

One diagonal

Five back

Her partner

Is teaching her

The steps

So meticulously

So well

But she can’t

Catch on

She goes off

On a

Dancing tangent

Trying desperately

To understand

But at the same time

Trying to

Dance a new

Dance

But

But

With the same

Partner

But the audience

They want a

Tango

They want this

And how

Can the dancers

Refuse

Their audience

So they dance

And dance

And trip

And stumble

And try

And deviate

And wish

And look each other

In the eyes

And switch

The

Steps.
