The beep stops her smiling

The beep stops her smiling
She enters
Her hand in her pocket
She says

Out in the foyer
There are lots of people waiting
Two people sitting down
One standing
One is listening to his i-pod

Music comes on

Ildiko makes 3 steps
Somewhere she's never been before
They play Grandmother's footsteps
via text

Ildiko hides behind the sea
She has a screen for a head
She dances on a flight case
She hands over her phone
And her hand

They dance
The distracted dance of a texting teenager
Their technology leads
They follow

One is asked to strip
One whistles
One dances
One stands with her back to me
Knock knock
She says

He wears his shades
Nobody puts baby in the corner
Time of my life
Goosebumps
Three legged pig
Gene Kelly
Can't eat him all at once

The music stops

There is something engaging about watching you text
Wondering who is going to pull the trigger first
Waiting to find out what happens next
Rosie sleeps
Ildiko leaves

The phone is left on the floor
I am watching
Waiting for it
To vibrate
To wake up
For us to move on

They spoon

The End
