-Ohio slow dancing-

Let’s not roll the dice.

What else is there to lose?

Somebody in another room

Slates the take

But it’s us

Beating time to the song.

Let the others dance their way through

The same way we use to

Before stepping on each others

Shoes.

I remember that dance from a dream:

Sinatra showed up at the mic with a five
Dollar haircut 

Pencil-thin bow tie hanging off the collar by one
Side of the clip,

Scotch from the watery rack.

Let’s ease into it,
The song of "you and me".

There’s nothing left to break.

I remember the dance in my dream:

"Goodnight my love,—

Pleasant dreams
And sleep tight my love,
May tomorrow be sunny and bright.."

Only to watch the others

Dance the tune through.
