Dancing is Better than Drugs

There is no other time like this
...I need the release...

My eyes slide shut and I breathe in sharply
as the music pours through my ears
and builds a wall around my mind--
shutting it down,
closing it in...

Freeing my body to move in
any way it wants.

My tension seeps out in this,
the only place where I don't care
whether eyes follow me or not,
nor what the owners of those eyes
think of anything I do.

When I leave, I feel loose
and elastic.
My mind trembles with every breath I take.
I'll feel this good for days.
