One Job May Change My Life
"Terpsichore, please come to the stage."
I walk out wearing a silver cape.
My cheeks are contoured with teal shadow.
I model the future fashion of our universe.
My indigo tresses are pulled up high and tight.
I pull the microphone close to my lips
And I whisper. . .
"Who likes to dance?"
The lights go out.
The bass begins to pump.
The lights come on
And I toss the glitter.
I grab the watergun full of
lime green paint and shoot
towards the front row.
I jump down and grab
the first person I see dancing
And pull them onstage with me.
At 160 beats per minute
Our hearts are in rhythm
with the rapid stream of bass.
We feel the beat.
We hear the synth.
We are the music.
The lights are flashing.
Purple.
Green.
Teal.
Blue.
Together we dance.
Peace.
Love.
Unity.
Respect.
I mix.
They move.
We flow.
We are one.
