Take the Trip

The door is wide
Vast in it’s appearance
It’s carvings display moments in time
Pictures of history already unfolded, ones yet to come
It’s glimmer maroon surface and black ornaments compel me

Closer.

I move past the festive door and enter this new world
Shoom.Booom.Do-wap-a-do.
Shoom.Boom.Do-wap-a-do.
Heavenly music pours in from every crevice
My toes create their own direction as they tap along.

Music.

Hmm_Hmm. Hm_hm. Hmm—Hmmm.
My mouth hums along, tasting the smile of the song
The room is stark white, the floors an earthy brown.
My vocal chords begin to energize as the doors open.

Ensemble

The headless people are moving, grooving to the beat
I want to join them.
But everything stops.
They all turn to me, I can see the bedraggled happiness inside.
I lift my up my arms.


It all comes alive.
