Ballet Dancers At the Music School - From a Neighborhood Child
BALLET DANCERS AT THE MUSIC SCHOOL
Like a field of mountain flowers
Arching bending tip-toeing
The music?
A wonderful waltz
By Tschaikowsky
The girls
So slender
So light
Expressionless and swift
But then!
Laughing
Dash into the hallway
Costumes
Green red yellow
Bright white
I smile with
Mild delight
AT ONCE!
A tall green weed
Chewing gum
Glares
Clear through me
“Get lost PUNK!”
They bang the door
Fill the air with
Their sweaty leotards
Swan Lake continues
