Dance With Me

Dance With Me

Tell ya what 
   I wanna hear,
Humming rhymes 
       vibrating clear
Tell ya what 
   I wanna see 
All you Good Folk
       dance with me 

Dance with me 
Dance with me 
All the way 
       to world's end
Trance with me 
Trance with me 
Let not the Lies
       begin again 

Enter to
   Nirvana quick 
Not the band 
       but Life's big trick 
See The Now 
   and go Home laughing
All that died
       are at Home dancing 

Death's a joke 
   Life's Great Illusion 
The seed which sprouts 
       weeds of delusion
A catastrophe 
   some would say 
You'd think there'd be 
       a better Way

Perhaps there is 
   Perhaps there ain't 
Beats this poet
       Ask a saint 
All I know 
   is what I See
All you Good Folk 
       Dance With Me

4 days hence, I turn the blessed age of 52. At around the age of 11 and 12, I was my little hometown's best BreakDancer. Not the county's best, mind ya, but I had some skills, and I always like to give a shout out to that Awesome Diva Miss Grace Jones for singin' 'bout the most sacred form of slavery any boy or girl could ever be bound to; I'm talkin' 'bout her 4 words that define what it's like to always be a bloody, dirty, dancing Dervish: 'Slave to the Rhythm!!!'
       I still enter the ritual of electronic dance and float in the rhythm of emptiness, make no mistake; though I haven't any photos yet of the deed. I did choose this photo, however, as the t-shirt I'm wearing brings back a memory of another qoute about dance and music that really just hit the nail on the head, as far as articulately describing my favorite band - Skinny Puppy - with just one line. This was simply an ad, waaay back in 1988 or '89 in a Transworld Skateboard magazine, I reckon promoting their new album, but this one line rang so true to me, I've simply never forgotten it. It simply said - 'Skinny Puppy: Dance music, as hard as the world we live in.'
