A silent Saturday is a rare thing
Hottest on record or below zero
We danced
Soaking rain or tropical gales
We danced
Christmas evening, random weekend
We danced
Sirens and warnings of bombs
We danced
Videos promising hate on the news
We danced
Concerts and public thoroughfares
We danced
Flu flu flu and flu and flu
We danced
Finger on the button with no discipline
We danced
Strikes, marches, agonies of protest
We danced
Victory here, or over there
We danced
Hate from the skies and blood on our bricks
We danced
Surrendering everything else except
We danced
But this Saturday
The dancing stopped.
