Poem a Day, #14 (swing)

Swing music might have been my parents’ soundtrack

If they danced.

Swing dancing always looks like so much fun,

But I’m bad at learning steps.

I would have swung high on a backyard swing

If my father had hung one.

I loved to swing a bat at a softball

But never played on a team.

I’ve never lived in a swing state or

Cast a swing vote.

I never have mood swings

(my moods hover around the midline,

boringly so).

Swinging is more fun than standing still.

Swinging left is more fun than swinging right.

Swinging opinions are called flip-flopping,

But why is changing your mind a bad thing?
