The Friendship Shuffle

Get into the rhythm of it

Stiff at first

leading to faltering

wobbly stances

falling out of choppy

uncertain spins

𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆

The only path to

connection

as friends is

letting go of ego

using core strength

to carry you through

momentum swinging

the extremities

repeating as necessary

𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆

Lean into the pocket

grab the beat

in your gripping feet

let the groove overtake

the fear of losing face

𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆

Powering clean snaps

hard pumps with instant

taut retracts

flow like water

chemistry bursting

into sick green flames

thoughts turning to claims

creating massive displays

𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆𖨆♑𖨆

Finding the rhythm

in our pas de deux

isn’t a chore

it’s my passion

my joie de vivre

without our push and pull

life would merely

be a bore

just the letdown

after the curtain call
