"A Dance Lesson," A Poetry Post

Okay then.
When do you
take your
next lesson?

Let me 
get out my
calendar.

Let's get you
back
soon.

What
is your
work schedule?

Unh.

Unh?
Okay.
What time
do you
get off?

If I
leave 
at 4,
I can be here 
and ready
by 5.

Okay. Good!
We are open
until 9.

Last lesson,
8-9.

Ooh...that's late.

No.
No,
that is
still
early.

Okay.

So,
why not
Monday
at 7?

7
is 
late
for a 
Monday.

No, no.
7
is
still
early
for a
Monday.

Why not
then
I
put you
in
for
5 on
Monday,
but
you come
to the
dance parties
on Tuesdays.

Ok... What time
do those
start now?

They
start at
7.

That is
early
for
us,
yes?

Laughter.

Yes,
so you will
do
private lessons
at 5,
but you will
dance
with the
group
at 7.

You must
come and
practice.

You must
meet people.

This social part...
This is important.

So,
these are the plan.

You must
try to
make it.

I will make it.

It's good,
because
7 is early,
isn't it?

Laughter.
