On Receiving Contact On a Dating Website

Shall we dance Shall we dance, Mystery Woman, shall we dance? Shall we tango with words, slowly, to gently build Some common understanding of each other’s Rhythms of thought and being? Shall we dance a pavane of polite conversation, In orderly procession of statement and reply, Point and counterpoint, graceful development Of theme and variations? Indeed. Let us dance. Let us waltz towards Some decisive moment when the music resolves into Assonance or dissonance, and the floor becomes Crowded with swirling, twirling, dancers, Or empties into hollow phantoms of memory. Let us dance.
