Move

slipping away is too easy
they’ll look behind the billowing curtains
so no hiding
the road for retreat is crowded
too many give up daydreaming too soon
so keep imagining
you can’t claw your way back into the womb
so plant your feet and grow a spine

the dance is short and the music loud
you may have to speak up
trying is the best part
the chances are there to be taken
wring every drop from yourself
you have their attention
they’re not not waiting for you so move
