Taken A-Back

We have the St. Vitus' dance, and cannot possibly keep our heads still. - Thoreau

as the music played, some kid told me to "bust a move"

so i tried to dance and threw my back out

i guess i did what he said, both figuratively and literally

Author's Note

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - Thoreau

Must have been quite a painful experience, Pete. You penned it well! The advice you got from the young boy you took literally! Hope your back is well now again and that you are more careful with your dance moves on the floor! Lovely write! Thank you for sharing...
