Dance Our Dance

Happy in meeting,

Polite in passing.

We dance our dance

And find ourselves lacking.

Kind in parting,

Friendly in messaging.

We dance our dance

With no one watching.

Sad in doubting,

Upset in feeling.

We dance our dance

With masks of glass.

Glass uncertainty,

Glass unreadable.

We dance our dance

With no outcome feasible.

Wonder of shattering,

Fear in answering.

We dance our dance

And want to stop.

Dancers one,

Masks one.

I dance our dance

Afraid of truth.

I wear a mask,

You do not.

I dance our dance

For I cannot stop.
