Janice said

We needed to dance like giraffes

And so we danced stretching our necks

And our feet gathered dust from the floor

And the black marks of

Many children’s shoes

Janice said

We are tall and triangular

And we built a dance with this in mind

While those who watched

Scuffed their toes and

Wished they were us

Janice said

We are no longer friends

And built a giraffe life

I knew

                      My neck was too short
