Clap, Clap Back
Clap,
Clap back.
Inside the walls,
The chamber rises and falls.
The response and call;
Collectively, we love to ball.
Smokey interludes,
Vibratory moods,
Interdisciplinary blues,
Listening to the clues.
Bodies move.
Pose,
Live sculpture, the Louvre.
Soundscape in the bones;
Shift, tilt and moan.
Dance, minds blown;
Centerstage, shine alone.
Lights dim,
Time-space con-tin-uum.
Free, above the rim;
Spin, dip, twist on a whim;
Spontaneity,
A supreme deity.

Cafe Society
Café society;
Latte sobriety.
High snobiety;
Laid back variety.
Whispers roar,
Chatter snores,
Digital gossip,
A broken faucet.
Tight quarters,
Caffeinated loiters,
Corporate avoiders,
Organic contorters.
Multilingual,
Nervous tingle,
Todos mingle,
Espresso single.
Timeless pastime;
Community lifeline.
Economies re-align;
Black elixir so divine.
