I am posting this now in reply…. “Dancing the dance” what is to dance and what is a ball? did he go to the fair? and if he did, what did he carry with him? may I have the pleasure of this ball? he asked me. I have just broken in two my dictionary, so strong and full of energy I feel, I said. and how do you dance? define a dance for me. a marry-go-round with all people involved, in for a penny, in for a pound. to dance for joy to toss about the prima ballerina at the Scala like a black nightingale with her costume hanging loosely and a loose tooth in her mouth. on the opposite side of the square, mirroring himself into her soft travels a chap as unstable on his feet as on quake lands and as happy as an English man at a Green party to dance like ships tossed in a storm dreaming of going to the Court ball to meet the unhappy Prince of nightingales to get involved in feet measuring shoe testing to feel as participant as to the local fair where a bear is shambling about in front of a crowd of country folks.
