dance the dance convincingly... make me feel something as i watch and listen to your performance... lose yourself in the act... become the thing in itself... make me feel something as i perceive your body moving through spacetime... burning... brooding... volatile passion, says i... give me moreMORE... i consume you too greedily... know you not my need for inspiration?... my hunger is legion... it feeds upon itself through times of famine... you are here now... and i am lost amidst a dark sea of bodies all staring at the stage... as you move your body sensuously... violently... deliberately... creatively... make me feel something... become the human condition before me... exude human nature with every subtle look of your eyes... and nuanced movement of your body... i lose myself in the performance... i forget myself for a time... then it ends... the curtain falls... the lights go dark... and i must return to the nightmare suddenly.
