happy feet

two left
feet keeps you off the dance
floor.
but you can
keep a beat
with your spoon
tapping it against the table
as the music
plays
and girls and dandies
dance across
the ballroom floor.
you're a closet
dancer these days.
spinning in the kitchen,
or the shower,
dipping,
gyrating to a song
playing
in your head,
or coming through the walls
from next door.
