"what I do--"

"that's what I do."
"when?"
"in the elevator when i'm by myself"

proceeds to show me a sample of his tap dancing.

i can see him doing this...
in the elevator
small confined space made large
by the shuffling feet
a big happy grin
and a lightness of being
that makes a 20 second ride
feel like sunshine

i smile
he smiles

he continues to dance.
