she used to dance

she tells me

while she casually unloads her car

back in the day

every thursday night

she’s a bit too old for it now

i tell her i don’t really dance

but she could show me some steps

to a song she likes

she turns the car radio on

send the rain is blasting

she looks around

tells me she’s had complaints

from the neighbours before

and it’s late

i look at her

and hope she turns it up even more

i don’t know if i remember

she says

if not

make something up

i wouldn’t know anyway

she gets in front of her car

it looks new and old at the same time

like it’s been around

but kept clean and in shape

she starts with some steps

i join in

not as easy as i thought

i laugh

i try

we sing

send the rain
