Starting Mode (Free verse) by zenhaircut

Long-haired men drive us crazy Warm hands clench beer cans, Hastening transiting consciousness. She's '96 in jeans and flannel, I'm someone's fleeting daughter. Let's not fastfoward. Smoke-induced nebulous room, We're shortsighted, looking far beyond Gaudy moon-stroked glass, pavement. We dissipate, you and I. Our soles proceed our souls, Heart-beats against linoleum, no longer cold. We danced to bad music, My freeform flail, you, less tense A million stares upon us, disregarded. This is starting mode.

I'd scratch the first verse.
"Our soles preceed our souls,"
"no longer cold," not needed.
"My freeform flails"
Is your friend really 96 and dancing?
