Why isn't the poet going to the dance?

• Nobody asked him, because he is considered an outsider, and not from the area.

• the half-talk code of mysteries

• upon a mile of road

• Billy Brennan's barn

• all the solemn talk of contemplation

The bicycles go by in twos and threes -

There's a dance in Billy Brennan's barn tonight,

And there's the half-talk code of mysteries

And the wink-and-elbow language of delight.
