"Gertrude Recalls"

Poem by Gigi Ann

Gertrude recalls

that she was among

the first ones;

to dance,

to dip,

to do the

grapevine slip,

or was it the slide?

The electric

was the slide

the grapevine

has no slip or slide

the grapevine goes

from side to side

along the hall, as

Gertrude recalls.
