Ready for a PARTY —
Ready to dance into
A FRESH take on life
Listen for those LOWER notes
Pulse with that backbeat
Step like the MOVER I am
Light on my feet like a BOXER
Feint, spar, and swing
Jump and jive, baby!

Georg’ann

He never went to TRIAL
though he appeared before the judge.
Wearing the orange jumpsuit.
Chained in a line to fellow inmates.
Each waiting their ROUND
to be spoken about, asked
if they understood. Though not really
caring if they did.
Moving quickly through details.
Didn’t COVER much. Rote process.
No sense of humanity in any of it.
Caught a glance from his scared, sad eyes.
Wanting to maintain bravado of a BOXER.
Knowing he was in for a knockout.
