         Overcast dull Monday
           before Terry ... and after Diana.
         I wring myself at the press
           of life within me thwarted
              bound in forms, unnatural, without help.
         Rose one night helped me see
           that I get nothing when I want everything
         and I thanked her and left
           to find Monday morning here...
         Here, dancing the dance of hearts and swords
           with Chris
              and taking it all too seriously.

         Lo key reality, Stephanie,
           was easy to be with.
         She knows no more than I
           and just happens to think its alright
               to be up and down; its normal.
           Attitude dancing is to be learned
             and friends are for sharing
                without strings.
              To me she's decadent
               and to her I'm an idealist
             and its fine;
               we both know we're wrong.
         It was just an interlude
           in our dances thru all the insanity.
         We paused to share
           the tales of our journeys
         and to be together
           simply because its better
              than being alone.
