#595 Ballerine Masculine



The corps de ballet have left
Swan Lake not too far behind
as they relax beside the water.

They have eyes, ears, hands
only for each other, minimal
interest in the poseur who has 

usurped their onstage uniform 
& is now performing a pencil 
turn in their midst. Baluster thin,

little luster; & in that garb intend-
ed for the female dancer, comes 
across as too, too unappealing.
