too colorful
too loud
in synch but never rhythm,
‘cause rhythm requires heart and hips
memorize the dance steps
and copy the other kids
perky red dragon breath
censored lukewarm
can’t ignite a fire
exercise with me
for health and well being
lockstep together
pity the individual who
tap dances to the left
when the group mentality
is twirling to the right.
(The video that accompanies the poem was shot in Hangzhou, China on November 6, 2011 at an outdoor fun fair for kids.)
