Dancing My Blue Head Off

I’ll go ahead and write anyway,
even though I find it hard to write.
Be that as it may.
Sometimes I go through a whole day
without picking up my orange note-
book, but today
I’m going to go ahead and write, and pray
something OK comes of it.
Be that as it may.
Thinking about what I did yesterday—
clogged in Studio A to the tune, “Lost Child.”
Had no idea how, but I danced anyway.
That’s how I rocked my blues away.
My body was tired and I slept through the night.
Be that as it may.
Hastening in the Good Old Way,
wrapping whatever it is up tight,
I’ll go ahead and write today,
come what may.
