The Duke Dance

It's what we do, me and him. He doesn't like me much. It's understood. Oh, he'll be nice and all when I give him the chance, which is fine. Works the same in reverse. But we often perform The Duke Dance. Hard to describe so I'll just equate it to a Flamenco. Sorta. Minus the sensuality. See below.

"Latin dance is a fast-paced, often sensual, partner dance characterized by sexy hip movements. However, hip movements are not intentional in any of the Latin dances. The hip motion is a natural consequence of changing weight from one foot to the other."

Essentially we're squaring off. Nobody ever wins, It's wasted movement while we jockey for a position of superiority, neither of us really knowing what that means. The Duke Dance. I come, he goes. It occurred to me that maybe I am approaching this all wrong. Maybe I just need to piss on the floor and mark my territory.
