Dime

She danced, but she had a pocket --
she danced, but she had a thin
-- boys like her -- like her thin
-- boy likes her -- likes her thin
(there was a "k" to her thin back then)
-- he likes her -- speaking man-to-man
likes her thin, her dancing pocket
air, hips-lightening-lily -- likes her thin
-- then he splits her like a hair -- to give air
to her decision to like only him,
to stay thin,
to dig her own pocket,
to seed secrets as best & oily friends,
-- boy likes her -- likes her thin.
