Strictly Pavement


 

When I meet my neighbours on midwinter streets

we do a little dance called the Symptom Exchange.

It is carefully choreographed:

a few steps this way, a few steps that.

Hands touch shoulders, heads nod.

If we manage this one successfully

we may move to the dance-off,

called the State of the Pavements.

how about an Underground Dance-off? This one's only to be attempted when on the tube, with eye contact... particularly tricky, requiring much practice and new steps to master...
