The floor is full of dancing women
swaying to the band,
a sisterhood of beauty brimming
fun and friendship, crammed
in front of happy landlord grinning
while their partners, jammed
against the walls, continue swimming
through their drinks and stand
unmoved by all the catchy rhythms
as if to dance is banned.
Back home though men insist on winning
conjugal rights as planned,
moving tto a different rhythm
without the need to stand.
But might the girls like dance elation
more than monotone copulation ?
