A Halloween party on Zoom
Wouldn’t be too much fun, you’d assume
But you would be dead wrong
For I boogied along
With my daughter in our living room.
All the Zoomers wore costumes and danced
And the camera had each one enhanced
To fill up the whole screen
So each person was seen
As she shimmied; I watched it, entranced.
Every song had a danceable beat
Meant to get people up on their feet.
Some were Halloween themed
With the choices, it seemed,
Leaning less on the trick, more the treat.
Since participants can’t meet for real,
Zoom has obvious proxy appeal
And this special needs group
Got to boogie and whoop
With the joy every square did reveal.
if I have what I want my eyes tail Putting it
as an enemy of snow
the caves of love
be disposed of as irony
danceable songs in the foamed like a bowl of violets that jumps through the storm
welkte idialstische creaking vessel as strangers
deceived by noon
as a hollow gap cheated
behind are cheated of their respective goodbye
