Colors and songs

stop connecting
dinner plates.
There is no room
for nourishment
or meaning.
Forget dessert.

I will be there.

Let me dance naked.

I will be raw 
and incorrect.

I am full of manic
mannerisms
and dramatic
gestures
that dance, 
however desperately.  

Tomorrow 
I will edit
the imperfections.

Today, 
let it be
in the uneaten peas
on a plate.

The errors 
illustrate me.
