As you flick the wand, one more time Again in a 360 rotation, around, From wall to door Her lean torso serpentine coils, her mind cocked to spin Memories she hasn’t felt since ancestors past Nor this hunger for the hunt Crouched low against the carpet fibers Peeking through the lattice squares The gaze, the stare, the pause Of the dining chairs The hunch, the pounce, the **** The finishing blow. Grace and ferocity beyond what even Discovery could say It’s all a game, illusion: To catch is to win, but to catch will end the game To chase is to win the excitement, but to lose? But, ah, all is but frustrated To lose, is the essence of the game Chasing quantum excitations Like that chance for a mouthful of pride In pursuit But a ghast, fleet of foot myth She says in the semaphores of her midair leap With delusions comes laughter, I am the uninhibited one Dancing for beasts.

As you flick the wand, one more time Again in a 360 rotation, around, From wall to door Her lean torso serpentine coils, her mind cocked to spin Memories she hasn’t felt since ancestors past Nor this hunger for the hunt Crouched low against the carpet fibers Peeking through the lattice squares The gaze, the stare, the pause Of the dining chairs The hunch, the pounce, the **** The finishing blow. Grace and ferocity beyond what even Discovery could say It’s all a game, illusion: To catch is to win, but to catch will end the game To chase is to win the excitement, but to lose? But, ah, all is but frustrated To lose, is the essence of the game Chasing quantum excitations Like that chance for a mouthful of pride In pursuit But a ghast, fleet of foot myth She says in the semaphores of her midair leap With delusions comes laughter, I am the uninhibited one Dancing for beasts.
