Sunday #29

corruption, hip


say dance,
    and they danced and swayed,
a permanent fixture
of the bar slime scene,

a hedgerow of faces
    cut to animalistic features.
say dance,
    and they danced and swayed,
wind exaggerated and the arms
    swing, intoxication

on an acceptable scale,
    a dance of hips
and arrow eyes, sharp points
with a sight for flesh,

a parade of possibilities,
circus of freak show rejects
playing the same game--
    say dance,

and they'll dance and sway,
    slip corruption until
the dance is a farce
    and the whole show's exposed.
