How the Dancing Was - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing

How the dancing was

As her breasts collided with my mantits
Like twin battering rams against the walls
Of a padded cell

How the dancing was

As three people undulated
Woman between the man
Like a ham sandwich coming strangely to life

How the dancing was

My broken legs retaining rhythm
Straining air intake to the point
Of pneumonia

How the dancing was

A woman being swung around
Her flying legs cracking heads
Like baseball bats
