a dance

Have you ever pretended a guy was interesting? Have you slow danced and let him sniff you up close? I gives you somewhere to go, if you decide to. Or given a little kiss—nothing slutty in that. You know, a 'person' isn’t a good kisser - it takes two. I’m not talking about me, of course. There’s a two-way interrogation going on complete with our own internal narratives —we reenact it’s rituals in the strangest places like quiet libraries or the lerch and spin of a dance club we process by analogy and approximation and it works until it doesn’t, like cold water poured into a glass. Then we settle back into the dull rhythms of study I’m not talking about me, of course. . . Songs for this: Loveland by The Blenders Human Nature by Mitchell Brunings
