Hi! I Remember You Quite Well

(for my friend Eberle Knight)

We're gonna dance into heaven 3 steps at a time
taking turns leading in all directions
we'll form a swan and turn on every third dime

or maybe I'll dance something beyond our sync
but near the end, you will rhumba past the brink
and some of us will be nearer to heaven

we will touch most of the time with affection
but watch my feet they stomp the floor like buffalo
and turn lovers toes into noisy piccolos
