Please help analyze, synthesize this unusual poem!?
Instructions for Fat Black Women for a pretender - by Grace Nichols Do the boogie-woogie Do The Do Charlestown hop to rock Do The Funky Chicken downward Foxtrot Will himself a mango tango as "The minuet Spin ole me a pirouette that good Highland Fling Get Down Baby Do That Thing limbo after all that, perhaps months, and I hope you have a little energy left to carry me through the threhold lol, this poem is nice ...

An interesting note to make is that she tells the man to do all these things, while, presumably, he sits and watches. Its role is passive Throughout the experience, right by the ambiguous line "take me through the threshold", which idiomatically refers to marriage, but in this context sounds like sex. It's almost as if the power is exercised alone more than one man (as a black woman) by forcing him to "play" to before she gives him what he wants. So the first stanza consists of Native American dances and the latter are not European or American. The full list dances also suggests that perhaps she does not want that man at all. And instead, she tries to run before it uneven has a chance to claim their prize. In this sense, the last stanza can be read as ridicule or sarcasm.
