you noticed that i move when music plays
and i cant speak without making circles around my face with my hands
said, 'you put all of you into all you do'
and i nodded with my toes
this body is not enough to say
all there is in my mind
i can't express the way the world turns me
how could i make as much noise as my heart
on every hour, 3,600 times an hour
pumping my blood and beating me through
like the ripples on a water front
my body can't be enough,
someday dance with me
we could make a motion of the song together
we could walk two lines at once
tap your toes when i play next time,
jump up and down  
and know that inside i am always jumping
but you can jump higher
know that even on the days i don't speak quite enough
my heart is still making the fluttering click of a film projector
my mind is still a song of a factory, constructing dreams
out of the silly things i see, and all the things you say to me like,
remember that we both touch the same air
and it still carries our breath, not matter how far
know that i breathe for you,
hoping your eyes can see the way i force it into the atmosphere
out of me and into something so much larger
something that is always,
always expressing what i try to.
