Super Duper

they put us
side by side
on a shelf

turning our
keys at the
same time

but we each
have different
tempos as we

motionlessly
pose in stance
atop our music

boxes and turn
merry go round
as if to dance

you a ballerina
me a frog with
tux and tails

top hat cane
complete
Puttin' on the

Ritz which
juxtaposes
though we're

both on one
leg your form
is balanced 

on one toe in
that of sacred 
geometry

so as our music
slowly slows
yours shows 

still melodic
lines symmetrically
infinitesimal eternal

my song has stopped
but in the faintest quiet
yours will always be heard

Richard Lamoureux Date: 9/5/2019 8:34:00 AM It is our job to make her look good. You have achieved it with this piece. Login to Reply Jeff Connelly Date: 9/5/2019 5:50:00 PM Thank you Richard. The title comes from the song lyrics of "Puttin' on the Ritz. "Duper" rhymes with Gary Cooper lol.
