Swizzle Stick

Disco Very

first school disco - very big deal
new purple pants & crimped hair
the school hall strange un-
canny in dark dramatic
colour-light & bounce-loud
through-the-floor bass lines
wooden folding chairs lining
walls to make dance space
we dance with friends in knots
or circles we all watch each other
to see how to do it dancing
not all disco - very mixed hits
this is nineteen seventy-nine
I dance free to all I am twelve
pretty good & this disco - very
