(Perfect for dancing)

 

(perfect for dancing)

 

my mind spinning in kaleidoscopic directions

and dancing in the streets

collecting traffic light colors

in an ever changing constant sheen of red

 

staring as crowded sidewalks corner me

in an alley by the way,

scanning every frowning face

and candy store window…for those dark eyes

 

tapping my toes to the sounds

calling from second floor balconies

draped with confetti grins and waving hellos

in a paraded cupped hand stance

 

walk / don’t walk lights flash

in syncopated beat with this moment

as I see your reflection in revolving door glass

and my heart spins in your movements

 

crossing guards jump, cardboard stop signs firmly in hand

white lines on black asphalt beckon

as this two way street, (perfect for dancing)

leads you straight to my arms

Today is my first day of reviewing in a month my friend, so I'm essentially limited to concise statements right now until I get my bearings back. This is an awesome piece...it has a stream-of-conscious feel to it, yet every line and image carries razor-sharp precision. Great work.

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much my friend. Happy you are back in the fold.

This is just lovely. The rhythm of the piece stays in step with your wonderful imagery:

walk / don’t walk lights flash
in syncopated beat with this moment
as I see your reflection in revolving door glass
and my heart spins in your movements


crossing guards jump, cardboard stop signs firmly in hand
white lines on black asphalt beckon
as this two way street, (perfect for dancing)
leads you straight to my arms

It is a very romantic piece.

[Jack...]
