Like a ladybug

he appears on the dance floor
a singular soul
in the midst of the crowd

like the shine of her wings
his suit coat stands out
with trousers to match

a myriad of colour
the Celtic patterns
of yin and yang twirls

already a dance
for the eyes of the seated
to stare in wonder

but ’t’s in the red shoes
that the wonder gasps
as they tap out the steps

of a quickstep solo
bizarre and obverse
to the noise of the band.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
This captures a moment when, seated, a saw this person whose daring attire struck me because he lacked any kind of self-consciousness and could keep his own rhythm regardless of the noise of the reggae band.
