Dancing in the sullied public laundry room
A young woman
Is she a glow or is she smiling,
With her mind astray?
A parking lot ****** observes
Expressionless,
Unsure of her intent.
Is she dancing in euphoria
Or is dancing to create her vivacity?
Is this bliss or is this gloom
Manifested in the same way?
Neither dancer nor examiner can be certain
Is she dancing
In happiness or simply to push
Her demons away?

Dancing in the sullied public laundry room
A young woman
Is she a glow or is she smiling,
With her mind astray?
A parking lot ****** observes
Expressionless,
Unsure of her intent.
Is she dancing in euphoria
Or is dancing to create her vivacity?
Is this bliss or is this gloom
Manifested in the same way?
Neither dancer nor examiner can be certain
Is she dancing
In happiness or simply to push
Her demons away?
