Halloween Dance

1.
dancing
d.j played Thriller two times
played Billy Jean
and at the end, d.j. played Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
i was in the rest room
exciting to listen to mike’s voice
but i ran my mouth
asking the same ol question,

"if i meet Michael Jackson, would i go crazy?"

2.
we as friends,
grooving off and to the beat
never matter what color or have a disability
we come together
equal
shaking their bodies
to the sweat
with music cruising around
into our veins
and hands in the air
jump, jump to the ceiling

3.
couples paired up
together
and nick and i were single out
when we watch them
dancing
sweetly blushing
smiling
while we talked

4.
cha cha
electric slide
shuffle to our feet
raising our hands
with such breath
the oldies, today’s music,
and my all time favorite, Michael Jackson
teenagers dance
having a ball
i met one of them
and remember those days
i was 17, enjoying
being a teen
good times, good times

5.
my friend with a beautiful black camera
she took pictures of the crowd
having a blast in
their own spotlights
and i just laughed
at her silly humor
taking photos of me
laughing into tears
when she said some crazy things

6.
i had a great time
enjoying myself
cracking jokes
grinning

wait ‘til next Christmas dance…
