COKE FIZZ by Kenneth Pobo

In my dancing disco days

I wore a silver lame shirt,

drank gin and tonic, and smoked

Newport Light 100s.

I had three left feet–

the third, my soul,

didn’t dance any better

than the other two.

I can dance

in a garden or while reading.

Dancing doesn’t require legs.

Coke fizz, it bubbles up.
