An old couple on a small patio,
cramped together with a small coffee table in between them,
in front of a wooden balcony door wide open,
as the world waltz onwards.
I wondered if either of them would have ventured
out onto the patio by themselves
had their partner not been there.
“Are you ready to dance?”
May be a question we ought to ask ourselves, I thought.
