He sang the words which
didn’t rhyme and heard in
rhythmic beat the snap
of feet a-tapping time
The feet weren’t his that
rhythm called to march, he
stood alone on stolid feet
dischordantly unmasked
In sympathy she took his
hand, you’ll never dance
the way they do, so stand
and call the tune for me
