Like Me

Johnstown, Pa back in the mid 40’s, me and 

Juney Harbrant broke into a jiggle dance in 

front of the gazebo band and Presbyterian 

saints and sinners—them eating watermelon, 

ice cream sandwiches and drinking orange pop . 

Helter-skelter scarecrow crazy-legs, plastic-

man arms, bobble head, feet-flopping butt-
wiggle: look ma no hands; & the band played 

on  till my good old preacher man snaked in,

grabbed my chicken neck & hauled me on to 

the green grass growing all around all around,

the green grass growing all around. See: I need 

to be completing my dance dance & all I wanna

do is dance: twist and tweak and twerk: Facebook

my Facebook—look at me: see me, hear me, 

touch me, feed me, like me really like me.
