You Can’t Line Dance to This  

three hundred screaming
accordions and the bonfire
of guitars

you can’t line
dance to
this

four mutant kings
Sea Monkeys running
the world from inside
a kid’s
jar

you can try
but you
can’t

12,000,001 odysseys
into the diaries
of a 12 year
old girl in
a much
older
car

you can’t!

daydreaming of
a peanut

butter

fly

you can’t line
dance to
this

but tonight
in your dreams
you will, and if you think
about that image long enough
you are guaranteed
a laugh.
