Waiting to pay

            for my  lunch,
            the man in front
           
            of me turned
            quickly,
>
            right leg over, 
            left leg back,
>
            right  leg
            leading
>
            left leg bringing 
            us face to face.
>
            “You were dancing,”
            I say.
>
            “It’s better than
            falling,”
>
            he says,
            tipping his hat
>
            like a cowboy
           as he backed
>
            out the door..
