DANCE TOO FAST

A boy and a girl
dance alone
dancers dance alone
in their closeness


closeness causes
sweat to swing
from you to me
to her to him


alcohol provides
his thumping high
after ecstasy she ceases to see
and shrinks inside her thighs


he dances so hard
to hip hop
he has to have
an op on his hip


she jumps up
throws up her arms
jumps back
throws up her kicks.
