Body pulsing, nerves twitching
Contorting limbs in all directions
Twisting and turning, hips swaying
As the beat pounds on.
One misstep then two
They see something’s wrong
No time to recover in the air
You’re sprawled on the floor
Dust yourself off and hit repeat
Music pumps out, filling your veins
The stitches in your side
Ooze notes and lyrics
Spilling onto the floor
You slip, you slide,
You’re down once more
The song keeps on skip-skip-skip
-Ing but you’re back up, sore
Mop up the mess,
Sew your side shut
Hit record
Moves nailed
Like the hammer you are
Pounding out each step
Steady, don’t stall
Fall in line with the rhythm
No more stuttering feet
Melodies coursing in your body
At last you can’t be beat
