The Dance


I watched your suave moves

Twirling other women around

Five feet, four inches tall

Son of Chinese bakery owners

How I longed for your torso 

Your crotch against mine

Dragging me across the floor

In an Argentine tango

Instead you took the hand of Gloria 

The daughter of the studio owner

Who let you in the dance for free

Mom recommended young men

Taller and more handsome than you

Whom I wouldn't spare a glance

You were the object of my desire

Until my surge of teen hormones subsided
