Choreographed Grace

Don't believe that dancers are awkward?
dancers are graceful beyond belief.
Are you upset by how liquid they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the dancers so gracious?
Don't believe that the waltz is rugged?
the waltz is delicate beyond belief.
Does the waltz make you shiver?
does it?
Pay attention to the choreography,
the choreography is the most little dancing of all.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the choreography,
Gently it goes - the wee, the smaller, the short.
