can you hear ms murray

I sit quietly surrounded by the din of the alley
and watch the dance

It is a dance, repeated time and time again generation after generation.

these steps are new, but familiar
The beat has changed as new partners bring their own drummer to the party

the drummers struggle for a mutual beat

mambos follow waltzes
salsa blends with a fox trot
a little boot scoot boogie becomes a tango

the answer isn't in the ability to dance

the question is .....do they want to sustain it?
