Could you have danced with me?
by Robert Hailman, 2002.
I'll never forget
The driving rhythm
The pounding beat
Of remix,
on remix,
on remix.
A culture you and I
could never understand,
and I was there to understand alone.
A crowded room.
A thousand friends.
The flashing lights,
The world on fire,
And we danced.
Could you have danced with me?
"Could you have danced with me?" is a poem I've had
lying around for a little while now. I wrote it after the
my school's semi-formal last week, which I didn't attend.
What does it mean? I can't be 100% sure. It's partly regret,
that I didn't go, and a few girls I've had my eye on did.
It's partly... it's partly a lot of things. It comes out
of a situation that I myself don't fully understand, and
I won't try to explain here.
It is what it is, dig?
