[hometext] => The dance is insistent...
[bodytext] => Jumping this way and that like I've got ants in the pants I'm really insect free I'm doing the dance The dance is not elegant nor is it in fun It is predatorial and I've no place to run The floor is so smooth and my gait is steady The tempo picks up I know that I'm ready My boss yells for this and yells at me for that Shove 'nother brownie* in my mouth I'm getting so fat The beat starts to quicken Fallin' into a trance The wood melts to stone while I keep up the dance My ex wants more money I'll do nothing of the sort Cause I just don't have it so I'm summoned to court Stone reveals muddy earth as I panic, almost fall Hope no one noticed that my dance started to stall Breath comes in ragged gasps As my car slams into 'nother The ground starts to vibrate I'm haunted by my brother He can't find any work while he sucks up my cash I'd gotten him a job which he quit in a flash The mud's shaking real bad keeping the dance up is tough Inner ear malfunction maintaining balance is rough Social Services harass me 'cause my son missed a med Must be an unfit father who's sick in the head Earth turns to raging fire my feet blackened brown Dance is killing me now God! I'm going down! A broken tail light's this dance's new attack License lost for two months I wanna go back! Fire extinguished by water As it drowns my soul Struggling to breathe now Threatens to swallow me whole My daughter is suffering so her pain is so deep Unable to help her Head in hands I do weep The sea starts to spin and forms a whirlpool I fight futilely Water swallows the fool *Note: Sweet, gooey endorphin rich wonderfulness [comments] => 3 [counter] => 181 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Jaycee [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
