The signal
Was not so clear
Shining, racing through
The system, the colors
Pacing
Traffic.

Directed
Preaching boldly,
Folding
Fingers over knuckles—
Still lingering.
They stood three,
like adjacent prongs
shifting along
like a cluster.

That girl’s so skinny, Negative weight.

Wouldn’t be so bad”
“But you’d all be brothers
Incest....not so rad.”

With no one dancing
Demeaning glances —
I got moves.

we would—
but it’s so far
and we’re already here.
