But, to be fair, it is hard to dance in water.
We will not be judged.
Round and round we go.
We enjoy one another’s company.
It’s a pose: it can’t last long.
We’re submerged, all of us.
But she lives by it.
This is of course a metaphor.
She is tall and handsome and sly and courageous.
At fourteen he was brave but reckless.
Aren’t we all friends here?
Even if it’s for only an hour or so.
All humans, no matter what they do, like very much to be liked.
No matter where in the world.
Night, too, has its advantages.
At sunset we are all still together.
“And always a village, never a town.”
It has the sound of something totally inevitable.
You will never be done with it.
And you just can’t do it like that.
