Quickstep

 Acknowledge the drum's whisper.

Yield to its velvet
Nudge.
 Cut a slow air-
Curve.
 Then dip (hip to hip):
Sway, swing, pedantically
Poise.
 Now recover,
Converting the coda
To prelude of sway-swing-
Recover.

 Acknowledge
The drum-crack's alacrity - 
Acrid exactitude -
Catch it, then slacken,
Then catch as cat catches
Rat.
 Trace your graph:
Loop, ellipse.
 Skirt an air-wall
To bend it and break it -
Thus - so - 
As the drum speaks!
