&quot;The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!&quot;<br /> -Oscar Wilde, &quot;The Importance of Being Earnest&quot;


Turn on the lights
Clear the floor
Shut the door

The music begins
People file in

With I in your arms
turn me about
then cast me out

oh, now bring me back
as we move
step, step, a twirl

Breathless, laughing, a bend at the waist
and arms that curl about ourselves

Into the night, into the night
High off the fun, High off the life

The step back in Time

All it took was the promise of a single swing dancing class as a date and I was writing this piece a hour later.
