He’s never seen her like this
and he thought she was drunk.
His image of a strict teacher
with a straitlaced lifestyle
was shattered as she started to move to the music.
This was not the Maggie R. he knew
This was a sensual woman whose eyes teased and mocked him,
as she wrapped herself in the music
and flowed easily into the beat.
At 23 he was proud of his fitness: that he could dance through twenty songs,
but he could not out dance this woman.
He was not to know that this was her first Disco
or that her trapped soul was freed
by the rhythm of the drum.
For Jason. Gunnedah February 11th 1994
