round and round we go
dancing on a shrinking island of light
in a dark sea of forever
skipping and dipping in moments of joy
as the pain and fatigue build
as tempos speed
faster and faster still
nuances gaining complexity
wild drummers going to town with hearbeats
while dissonances mask underlying rhythms
yet still we must glide
round and round
for the sake of  show
for the sake of each other
for to stop
is to keep a date with infinity
