what is dancing: slippery strange & sillhoutted

this is a question to which the appropriate answer is green and wild like a shoot
I came into the room because there were three places I wanted to be at once
again the little bell chimed and caused an unexpected shyness in my belly
she waited in the parlor holding a packet of old papers and muttering
the famous congregate in a place made of ten old aluminum frames
getting really really close to something but not quite touching it
the fingers on her handmade dolls were unnatural looking
I spent entirely too much money on repairs and tickets
all of this is exactly the same and slick with hot oil
i went backwards for twenty-five minutes swiftly
along came a tiger wearing a wristwatch and tie
afterward all the confused mingling ones left
against the rhythm of the band she reveled
I will stand here in my underwear awhile
lost in a softly billowing pillow of white
two of us making love in a cloud of lust
the music makes me feel an emotion
everyone is watching me i know it
there goes the showboat outside
beautiful as anything at two am
we will remind ourselves to be
sliding across the deck naked
clambering across the heap
giving in to the primitive
actually knowing love
confused with glee
stand behind me
wearing nothing
smiling openly
knowledge is
continuous
silhouetted
rather dull
i am tired
we like it
the word
wonder
power
flame
trees
skin
ink
lily
cat
ax
