Tonight's Poet Corner: Dance

Dance

You just put
one foot
in front of the other
and one foot
in front of the other
and one foot
in front of the other
and one

in front of the other
and one

foot
in front
of the other

and one

in front of

the

and once your toes start
playing tic tac toe with
warm sand under a
waterlogged bridge, you can
stop your steps for a bit.
