Wanna dance?

I meet my companions everywhere

We finished
Dinner
At the local Panera
Dropped off our trays.
On the way
Out the door
An elderly man
Green shirt
Tie
Slippers
Saw my cane
Wanna dance?
He offered.
It took me awhile
To understand
What he said
Wanna dance?
He repeated,
 Pointed to my feet,
Then to his feet.
Wanna dance?
I wish I could
I said
We live
With what we’re given
He said.
Yes
Yes
Still
The thought
Appeals.
