That's what happens when you can't wait even a little

Just as I said, "Let's get organized,"
this is a story about how I took a spectacular tumble the other day.

I went to a somewhat large dance party.
There is a man who always accompanies me to parties,
and I was with him (let's call him Hii-san) that day too.
Oh, I have 10 years of experience in ballroom dancing.

I got used to the atmosphere of the place, and it was time to dance.
It was a happy dance time.
I thought it might be a bit crowded since we were late getting started,
but I called out to Hii-san and we went out onto the floor.

As soon as we started dancing,
Hii-san collided with the couple behind us.
He fell right toward me.

After a split second of slow motion,
when I realized what happened, for some reason, only I was lying on my back.
Why?

It hurts and it's embarrassing!!!

I floated for a moment,
and it felt like I landed right on the base of my tailbone.

I must have been restless because I was so excited.
I was being pushy in a crowded space.
I should have just sat and waited for at least one song.
The person I bumped into
rushed right over to me.
"Are you okay?"

"What are you talking about?"

That was close, that was close.
I was about to say that thing you want to say when you hear a sentence ending in "ka".
But I wanted to say that, stand up quickly, and act as if nothing had happened.
In reality, it was all I could do to sluggishly lift my upper body like a caterpillar.
(It hurts & I have no core strength)
I wonder if I should have said, "Would you dance one song with me as an apology!?"

I mean, help me up...
I don't want you to just say "Oh, you're okay, right?" and
quickly disappear.

That wasn't the cause, but my favorite choker
broke.
But I pulled myself together.
I only sat out that one song and danced for the rest.
It was a fun party that lasted about three hours.
