I must say, the first Mount dance I ever went to scarred me for life. Now, I don't mind them. I just shudder at the thought of St. Joe's.

Nice imagery, and I like the concept a lot. Favorite lines was:

"Tuneless noise grates
my eardrums."

Supposing that's a commentary on the ever-popular genre of music that degrades women (that I still dance to, what a hypocritical feminist I am), of course.
