'more than memory;twins we' timothy r g, 5/16/2008

twins we were
twins we are
twins we'll be
the dance is never alone,
even when we presume it to be;
we choose to bow and nod to each other,
take hand in hand,
say, 'thank you,'
and,
'would you like this one?'
and if we're not sloppy drunk
we remember how we love,
yes,
each person that we've danced.
like twins,
completing each others' lines,
we all do so,
only if we dare listen
and then,
do a two-step into more than memory.
