The Dance

Jumping this way and that
like I've got ants in the pants
I'm really insect free
I'm doing the dance
The dance is not elegant
nor is it in fun
It is predatorial
and I've no place to run
The floor is so smooth
and my gait is steady
The tempo picks up
I know that I'm ready
My boss yells for this
and yells at me for that
Shove 'nother brownie* in my mouth
I'm getting so fat
The beat starts to quicken
Fallin' into a trance
The wood melts to stone
while I keep up the dance
My ex wants more money
I'll do nothing of the sort
Cause I just don't have it
so I'm summoned to court
Stone reveals muddy earth
as I panic, almost fall
Hope no one noticed that
my dance started to stall
Breath comes in ragged gasps
As my car slams into 'nother
The ground starts to vibrate
I'm haunted by my brother
He can't find any work
while he sucks up my cash
I'd gotten him a job
which he quit in a flash
The mud's shaking real bad
keeping the dance up is tough
Inner ear malfunction
maintaining balance is rough
Social Services harass me
'cause my son missed a med
Must be an unfit father
who's sick in the head
Earth turns to raging fire
my feet blackened brown
Dance is killing me now
God! I'm going down!
A broken tail light's
this dance's new attack
License lost for two months
I wanna go back!
Fire extinguished by water
As it drowns my soul
Struggling to breathe now
Threatens to swallow me whole
My daughter is suffering so
her pain is so deep
Unable to help her
Head in hands I do weep
The sea starts to spin
and forms a whirlpool
I fight futilely
Water swallows the fool
*Note: Sweet, gooey endorphin rich wonderfulness
