She said
Or someone will
Notice
Not us
Will notice
Just others
Are dancing
We should go
She sighed
Or someone may
Go
And not us
Without
Notice.
So,
We went
So
We danced
And everyone else
Noticed
Not us
But the lonely
Old women and men...
Chaperones, silent,
Eagle-eyed, standing
Un-moving, remembering youth...
While we danced.
