The Dancer

From a distance all I could see

was a crowd gathered round

I could also hear the music

and I really loved the sound

It was a sunny summer afternoon

and as I moved closer

It's like the heat increased,

I was sipping on a cola

I pushed to the front of the crowd

and what I saw

was so amazing

that it left me in awe

a man in a red tracksuit

was spinning on the floor

He was spinning on his head

then suddenly he paused

He twisted his arms and legs to the rhythm

He was popping and locking

to beats from a sound system

The crowd roared at every move,

he danced rapidly

He did things that made me think

he could defy gravity

He did back flips and front flips, so acrobatic

all in time with the beat, so fantastic

"He's so flexible his joints must be elastic"

Is what I thought to myself as the music blasted.
