Argentine Tango

and I see you dancing with some other 
and I know I 
     wouldn't want you anyway 
far too superior and regal for the likes of me 
I'd do something 
     I just know it 
too outrageous for words 
and 
I wouldn't 
even know it... 

but occasionally 
the dance 
comes my way 
and I get to hold 
onto you 
and run around the floor 

I'm getting better 
at it 
and I hope to one day
impress you no end 
with my prowess 
with my grace 
-with the satisfied look on 
     my face
 
They call this dance 
the four minute love affair 
and I'm thankful 
for the lack of entanglement, involvement,
And all the rest--- 
This dance gives 
     the best 
The connection 
The power, and the grace
the tension between 
the two lovers 
-for four minutes 
anyway
