Tango Me
Scenes at a dancing studio:
She: I am here for a refresher course
He: I am sorry. Do you have a lesson appointment today?
She: No. But I'd like one now.
He: It's not our business policy to let space and resource unannounced.
She: I will double your studio fee for just one refresher lesson.
He: You are very determined. What's the hurry?
She: Because I want to.
He: Now, why didn't I notice that when you walked in.
She: Are we going to stand here and talk?
He: One refresher lesson?
She: One lesson.
He: What is your pleasure?
She:Por Una Cabeza
He: Wait a moment. You are in luck. The tango instructor is in the next studio doing some choreographic sequences. I'll go get him.
She: I want you.
He: Tito is a much better Tango instructor than I.
She: I know. You'll do fine.
He: This way then.
He: Your scent is refreshing and is much appreciated here in the studio.
She: You aren't bad looking yourself, Arnold.
She: I think the Tango is the best metaphore for lovers. Don't you think?
She: Is that so?
She: Very funny.
She: You think you are so smart. You don't have a clue in what I said about the Tango.
She: The soul of the tango is the dancers. Better yet, if the dancers are lovers and married. It's a dance of affection, not temptation, for married couples. Hold me closer.
He: I think the distance between us now is fine.
He: I can't think of one at the moment.
She: What kind of dancing teacher are you anyway? There is none.
She: Face to face as I am now looking at you, gazing at my lover with love like the morning rises, warming his soul. He mine.
She: That's not funny.
He: I am sorry. It wasn't meant as a pun.
He: Sorry. Thinking. What is your metaphore for the turning of the heads?
He: Tito knows what he is talking about.
He: Oh, brother. Did he tell you that too? Ouch! You kicked me.
He: I think he is. I don't doubt it. But why are you telling me all these things about eyes, embrace, Fred and Ginger?
He: Uh oh. I am so sorry, sweetheart. Forgive me. I have totally forgotten about it.
She: You are forgiven. If you could come home earlier that would be great. Our parents are taking us to dinner.
He: I didn't get you any anniversary gift.
She: All I want from you is to tango with me tonight. My way.
He: I will tango with you till the end of time. Your way. I love you.
She: I know you do. L'amore fa passare il tempo.

It was late when I wrote the draft to "Cosmic Dry Bones." I left it with the movie "Contact" as the jump off point.
To do a critique on Sagan's works is like being in a candy store. Do I just go for one candy, a mix of this or that, or one or two favorites. I haven't decided how to do it yet. For sure, I know I want something short and sweet (pun) and to the point. Just what that is, I don't know yet.
You really like reading my stuff, don't you? I am fliting here and there with my blog, as you can see. I thank you for your indulgence. :)
