lie grafted
on the floor.

The warm wood expands

"And A-gain!"
contracts.

and stretch out their black
and white
arms towards the others "And​​​​​​​​​​

UP!"

Toes point
at the dust
continually disturbed
and floating

in the
sunlit air​​​​​:
tiny burning
flames

dancing round
the Lycra
bodies of
burning

minds,
shouting,
and fire-fuelled muscles,
obeying:

"Bend!",
"Build!"
push-pulling
"Hold!"
stretch-lifting
"Fold!"

spinning,
slowing,
"Control!"-harnessing

every limb's
ambition
to fly

and dancing!
Dancing, dancing,
Dancing!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
