i didnt know

you knew you needed me
you knew you loved me
you knew you were
one and me
until you slid
your hand out of
my hand
and hid between dance floor
and broken beer glass
and some girl you knew
before

and my feet boun boun
bounced to the beat
perversely behind each
bass drum reverberation

- thats not the right word
not the one i'm looking for -

vibrations

ear ringing and mov mov
moving away into the crowd
that isn't there
was never there

my feet uncharacteristically behind
the beat
my pants
too long (always too long)
dragging through the sweat
and sticky beerness of the floor

moving forward in time
my feet characteristically
in time to the beat
back to
you.
