Whenever I hear music
—when time gives me the chance—
wherever I am,
I've got to dance
Sitting, walking, or talking
on a chair, sidewalk, or street
I am one big ball
of happy feet
Ethel or muddy waters
Beethoven or james brown
I get on up
or I get down
Dion with
or without the belmonts
my feet are
gushing fonts
But feet is just code
for my body's mother lode
(dem dancin' steps mostly
are not visibaly showed)
To mozart, I kowtow
with a swimming eye brow
For dylan, I am hip
with silent gyrating lip
In the car,
all the singers
make me dance
with ten fingers
Be bop, doo wop, hip hop
or patsy cline
my internal dance floor
is real estate divine
Elvis, chuck berry,
motown, the stones
always set me free
and I am truly
***
