Daver Austin Poet Free verse

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
