Strange Happens
Aged dancing is for glancing
off a wall or two
down the hallway signing
wall space
Jack was here
loved too.
Such a streaky fellow
mid-life crisis then
means he lived six score or more
that's one two oh plus
10.
Why do we even mention it?
his ex would like to know
she thought he was too old
to dance
a mistake to say so.
He thought women mistaken
men were not like that
straight and true past sixty-two
then strange new world
happens.
It was the music did it
and dancing as well
the lights the booze
the end of rules
beauty not the younger
older women charms
lots of talk and walks
while everything undone.
Rests now for the duration
soon a date somewhere
away from city moments
that smile when viewed
still there.
