stand close, or else you cannot hear each other
talk loudly and say the most impressive things you've done
leave your number, and what you do when you're alone
if she turns away, then try another;
only sitting down will get you any further.
dance with as many people as you can
boys if you're a girl and girls if you're a boy
although this is by no means compulsory
make as many friends as you have fingers on your hand;
close your fist and forget them if you can
if he (or she, i forget) smiles and says your name
remember please that it might go nowhere
but shelve the book of hope in there
for later; keep it dark and play your games
if she or he perchance forgets your name
smile and look into her eyes
or at her nose if eye contact is unsupportable
or if her proximity makes you uncomfortable
make do with holding hands or otherwise
try not to look into her eyes.
and if the book of hope shall fall
don't panic; there will be another song
another winter dance, before long;
There will be dancing after all
if the book of hope shall fall.
