Enjamming
Walking with the beat
that sweet rhythm moves my feet,
arms, hips, lips, navigate the great abyss.
I gravitate towards the meter
of the measure
of the fissure
of time.
I cannot hear the wind outside my headphones,
across
the ground but I am well
acquainted with the sound. So I forgo the
obvious for the ambiguous. The path less
traveled
for the thrill of the surprise.
What song will play next in my shuffle of life?
