Definitions will spawn in a new window (Wordnet):

//dancing her out//
unknown

the red-haired woman
 1
who sat next to me
 2
at Brothers
 3
smelled like
 4
shoe-wax and
 5
bo.
 6
 
she told the bartender
 7
how to make a
 8
sand-viper
 9
and handed one
 10
to me.
 11
 
said her three year old
 12
son
 13
was in custody of the
 14
state
 15
she'd come in on a greyhound
 16
to find a job
 17
and get him
 18
back.
 19
 
i fell into
 20
the crack scene real
 21
bad
 22
put myself on the
 23
streets in
 24
chicago,
 25
she said.
 26
 
had two guys
 27
dancing me out,
 28
they caught up with it
 29
did this,
 30
she said
 31
and raised her tank-top
 32
showing a horribly burned
 33
left breast.
 34
 
what the hell is that
 35
whore doing
 36
on your couch?
 37
my girlfriend dragged me
 38
into the bathroom
 39
seething.
 40
 
listen
 41
she's in a bad
 42
way,
 43
i'm going to let her
 44
sleep on the couch for
 45
tonight
 46
and she'll be gone
 47
in the morning.
 48
 
the fuck she is
 49
have you lost your
 50
mind?
 51
if that thing stays
 52
we're done.
 53
 
i hope i'm not
 54
causing you any
 55
problems.
 56
 
just a true blossoming
 57
of ignorance,
 58
i said
 59
as we boiled
 60
coffee and
 61
got on the internet
 62
looking for
 63
legal aid attorneys
 64
shelters and
 65
temp agencies.
