I love to just
Close my eyes
And listen to the beat
He leans in
To tell me
I respond
That it has something
To do with
Self consciousness
If you close your eyes
You can forget
About everyone else
And just feel
The bass beat
Beat
Beat
And move with it
Side
To side
Up
And down
With your eyes closed
You can feel it
Just feel it
That’s it
Don’t worry about
The girl looking
The guy posturing
Just swing
Side
Yo side
Up
And down
With your eyes closed
Feel the beat
The floor is muddy
The drinks are strong
Everyone else
Is as drunk
As you are
Close your eyes
And feel
Dance
Feel
The DJ
On the deck above
The others
Dancing around
The watches
In wrists
The drinks
On the counters
The seltzer
Bubbling
The heels
Pressing into the ground
It plays here
And plays
And plays
Don’t think about tomorrow
Feel the beat
Close your eyes
Feel now
