Cold Dance Partner

Prose about loneliness and dancing with a refrigerator door from my Baldheaded Poetry series. Distributed by Tubemogul.


Cold Dance Partner

by Jolie Blond

05/19/02


Saturday night

and I'm dancing with the

refrigerator door

because when I'm happy

I have nothing else to dance with.


Realizing this

takes all the fun out of dancing

with the refrigerator door

and the music in my head stops

and I shut the refrigerator door.


Wide awake

at one o'clock in the morning

on a Saturday night

and no one to talk to,

nowhere to go.


I have

a vague recollection

of a life more exciting

than one a.m., music in my head

dancing with a 'frigerator door.


I fought my way

up out of the mud,

off of the street, out from

under that homeless bridge

for this?


For sanguine safety?

For shelter from the gates of twilight?

For a banal

and benevolent place

to store up food?


I had

access to women

when my life wasn't as safe,

as predictable, as sheltered

from dark what ifs.


The Street

taught me ferocious respect

for the present, the moment,

and women were attracted

to that ferocity.


Let me tell you,

if there's any doubt

in your mind,

a refrigerator door

is a cold dance partner.
