Line dancing 

I ask myself why I keep deceiving 
myself into believing I like line dancing. 

“Toe heel step! Toe heel step!” 
On a loop,
for thirty minutes straight.

Oddly enough, 
it reminds me of doing math homework as a kid. 

I spin in circles, 
getting my toes and heels stepped on, 
And see the pretty blond girl
Who dragged me here
Smile for the first time in a month. 

I smile back.

Toe heel step.
Tow heal step!
