Flash Mob

Someone sent a You-Tube link
That showed a flash mob form.
Recently, such congregations
Have become the norm.

I love to watch how they begin,
With people unsuspecting,
And as the crowds form, there are strangers
Suddenly connecting. 

Cell phone cameras get whipped out;
Everyone is smiling.
Choreography kicks in,
Which makes it more beguiling.

I wonder how they know their moves
Or harmonies so well.
Perhaps they practice secretly
In order to excel.

The mystery, however, surely’s
Part of the allure.
They show up unexpectedly,
Like guest stars on a tour.

I’ve never seen a flash mob yet,
Except up on my screen.
I’d love to see one in the flesh
And join in their routine.
