Tumble-twist and jitter-jive,

the world,

a mess of vibrant hues,

each shade just barely whipping by.

Tipsy-trip and stumble-stare,

I rely

on your bent-toe wingtips,

on your polished swivel keeping time.

Sudden-sight and lingered-look,

Your eyes,

are open, soft, and java brown,

the kind that beg for trust without shame.

And mine must seem startled.
