Poem Number 11667
Can We Dance? (for Chris)
can we touch or even sigh together?
taken out upon the floor, the music tangles us together, entwined
Commentary:
I'd like to ask you to dance
but the words never form
I'd like you to kiss me
but my lips shy away
I'd like you to hold me
but my body curls up
I'd like to stare in your eyes
but my eyes avoid yours
I'd like to stroke your face
but my hand is in my pocket
I'd like you to touch my face
but I always turn away
I'd like to tell you my feelings
but my throat closes up
I'd like your arm around me
but my shoulders disappear
I'd like to be yours
but I run and hide
I'd like all this and more
but above all else
I'd like to ask you to dance

very nice, sillabubbles, i've been there too -lw

If Bigalawhoah is NOT Bigalahuah, then what is it? Does it taste like an orange or does it possess more of a nutty texture? I still say the year is Nineteen tickety three, but no one else will believe me. That has great impact on all things considered, Just ask Sherbert Jim Moss. If he don't tell ya where they buried Hoffa, I don't know who will. If you (it would be like you) forget that I am a techno-vagrant, then you would possibly never understand how I possess so much knowledge. I mean, after all, how would you possibly fit God into a juicer, and make a delicious drink called me? The internet, that's how. Forgive my gibberatum, I feel slightly ill that this wasn't dedicated to me(I'm still free for dancing btw). #David Martinez

that's nice, dave, the nurse is here with your medication now -lw

Can we talk, DAve?
-------
David please, Dave rhymes too easily with Slave and knave for me to even consider using it as a shortened version. Sure, I guess. Isn't this what I'm doing? I thought we were talking, but I may be wrong. You never did answer me, but what exactly is a sticky wicket? #DAMA

Just shut the hell up!
-------
I can't. It's something of a nurological disorder. Maybe it is mental. Who knows. But I have this compulsive need to speak. I never did understand that expression-'shut the hell up'. What does it mean? It's like someone just threw 'the hell' in there one day, and people took to it. It makes no sense when you think about it. Unless of course, you have a annoying sister or parrot named 'Hell', then it becomes a little clearer. Hate me or love me, it doesn't matter, everyone has to have their daily dose of me.

david, if you really do have a neurological disorder, then i apologize for my quip about the medication. i'll try to keep my snide remarks to myself in the future. -lw
-------
Don't apologise, it's not that big of a deal. I don't have to take any, because there isn't anything that can help, and that wouldn't have bad side effects.#DAMA
