Botero’s Dreamy Dance<br />
by Debi Swim<br />
The lady in red, she in the chile con carne red<br />
and he, dapper with a neat pencil moustache<br />
danced with their eyes closed tight<br />
and the music played and they happily swayed<br />
long into the carefree night<br />
and for a short time this lady in red<br />
danced with a Carmen Amaya air<br />
and the man of the neat moustache<br />
and dapperly dressed<br />
was the dashing Fred Astaire.<br />
First line from Dancer by Carl Sandburg<br />
