You can try dating a dancer. They are muses to watch. As a writer entrances with circles so too does a dancer spin like a sufi. But if you tell one (a dancer, not a sufi) that was a great performance, they will cast you off as an discreditable source. It was good. Not great. You can try dating a dancer but the number of fouettés wasn’t enough/ whip not sharp enough, the developé not high enough, not high enough, not high enough, the line not straight enough because the inherent curves of the body prevent (inherent, inherent, why cant that be changed/I say it can), the leap not bounding enough, the grace not antelope enough. Never enough. (“If you love something enough” the paradox being, if you truly love something, there is no such thing as enough). Sufficiency is settling for something.

Enough, enough they eventually say. And they die.
