This is an animation I created for my poem, Tango. The narrators are the amazing Sarah Mallery (AKA S.R. Mallery) and the incredible voice artist Paul McSorley -- thank you so much for the humor and the voice!
He | No more idle time and no more blues! I’ll curl up my mustache, put on dancing shoes I need someone — you? — whose heart I can steal For Heaven's sake, don't make me kneel |
She | I dabbed some perfume just under my ear As soon as I laid eyes on you, dear You move with panache, with such elegant flair I adore your bald spot, your dwindling hair |
He | Yes, I think of myself as a dashing young man No surprise you came over as the music began My aftershave is intoxicating, I am in such bliss As I lean over, shall I give you a kiss? |
She | I painted my lips, put a rose in my hair My bosom is plump, my arms are bare, As I cling to you — what a tall gentleman! — Can you hear my heart? Hold me tight if you can |
He | I sway on my feet, then leap into the air Come tango with me—if only you dare Hang on my arm, let me lead step by step Oh my darling, now your weight I must shlep |
