then your arm listens
shake shake shake
red blue purple green
shake shake shake
red blue purple green
soon your whole body is thrashing
thrash shudder shake
shake shake shake
red blue green purple
thrash shudder shake
shake shake shake
red blue green purple
you hear an "are they okay?" and a "call an ambulance"
but just barely. you can't quite make it out.
mumble talk shout
thrash shudder shake
shake shake shake
red blue green purple
mumble talk shout
thrash shudder shake
shake shake shake
red blue green purple
the dance is ruined
everyone goes home except for you
lying in a white cot
again.
why do you even go to the dances?
because just like your friends
you want to have fun.
someone said that it's just "extremely bad dancing to lights"
and yeah
but this dancing is dangerous
and you keep surviving, somehow.
fucking lights.
you can't go anywhere without the danger of that cot
sweeping you up again.
