Am Big. You. Us.
(ambiguous)
.Many meanings, enigmatic phrases
suspended in multiple
interpretations, never quite
settling, dominance
undecided. Meaning
unfettered from expected symbols,
set loose to roam freely,
dancing across the floor
with every eligible
(and some iffy) partner,
tango-two-stepping the Charleston
with a jellyroll into the cha-cha-cha
Box steps are for rhymers counting their footfalls,
oblivious to the music flowing
when cadence catches context,
sets the night alight with the flames of youth
coining colorful phrases, heads thrown back,
laughter bubbling up, effervescent emotion
distilled into distant daydreams,
expanding.
About the Creator
Harper Lewis
Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.
Intertextuality is my passion.
Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.
My words are mine, not a robot’s.
