Dance is Still Movement
Dance is Still Movement
Random blasts of the synapses
not physical like Cocker’s
but the brain firing the body
with jerky impulse reaction
the music alive in transmission
one with the meaningless word
and David Byrne reinventing
dance as immersion in sound.
Talking Heads robotic
obfuscation as art form
they plough their ragged field
and Byrne their scarecrow
striding the otherworld
in song and dance somehow divine.

Prompt: Dance.
Note: Yes, this was written as a response to Ned’s poem on Joe Cocker. When nothing has occurred to me for a week, an immediate thought on hearing her idea was a straw to be grasped. David Byrne is surely Joe Cocker after intellectual processing.
