Wind up the words
You astronauts.
Make them dance
All night

Like crickets
Doing the rub.
Step a little on my toes.
We dance the night away.

Fiddles play,
Lovers spin like tops.
All along the boardwalk
Umbrellas are lined up

And stand at mute attention.
Some bugs will feast upon a crust
While others dance
And fast among the corn.
