It wasn’t anything like you thought. Youth and Old Age, as Whitman characterized them. He read to the youth, who listened not very raptly, choosing instead to dance his fingers along the old man’s thigh, distracting.
They danced around each other in front of the others, a complicated tango full of grace and finesse the youth was sure he did not otherwise possess.
Old age danced with vigor around the youth’s body, employing forcefulness and years of skill to play the fleshy instrument of his desires, plucking youth as a harp, being careful not to break the delicate strings.
The entire relationship, a carefully choreographed dance.
