we’re at that part 

in the story

where Nina Simone

meets The Mother of Dragons

 

they go slam dancing

just for kicks

 

all the work is done

stripping to the bone

hair in a bun 

for speed

 

not points

 

and in the end

there is a tall cool

gin and tonic

alone at the bar

 

the next story
