foxtrot for poetry

1.

I know the steps.

I will teach you.

the band is tuning-up for the last dance

and it has our names on it.

the good news is: the rumor is now defunct

that Robert Browning penned a foxtrot

he called "Andrea Del Sarto".

most of the wise-guys said it was faultless!

who can argue?

2.

there's the whistle!

the breath of the song will fill the space between us.

follow my lead and let's dance, my love!
