Advice

Someone dancing inside us 
 has learned only a few steps: 
the "Do-Your-Work" in 4/4 time, 
  the "What-Do-You-Expect" Waltz. 
He hasn't noticed yet the woman 
  standing away from the lamp. 
the one with black eyes 
  who knows the rumba. 
and strange steps in jumpy rhythms 
  from the mountains of Bulgaria. 
If they dance together, 
  something unexpected will happen; 
if they don't, the next world 
  will be a lot like this one.
