Dancing On The Floor






When we dance they see us

from the road in cars

flashing by our open curtains

living room brights on.


When we turn the music up

for a little while

picture window flourishes

sharing the inside.  


We used to watch the mysteries

murders every night

human beings bottling

all their weary plights.


Saw 5 thousand guns last year

arriving before sleep

bank the clever stories

dream whisperers repeat.


Optimistic really

solving every crime

Agathas in training

while the docs decide.  


Twirl before the fireplace

photos smiling now

no longer just absorbing

those would put us down.


Arrows on the Walmart floor

left foot here then right

Poirot turns us all around

dance videos isle five.

Hey, same last name... sounds like what my parents used to do when I was young. Simple pleasures and entertainment. Good thoughts.

Nice coincidence

Waiting To Reappear

 I had a state park pass that was stolen, appaently, off the mirror in my van.  It was a LIFE pass, good for geisers, who do not have enough...
