(This is the lead, title track of a new concept poetry series I'm writing based on my recent obsession with "Dance Dance Revolution", which details the story of a Dance Dance Revolution team challenged by a wicked intergalactic capoeira master to face off against his team in a world dance tournament, where if he wins he'll force all arts, music and P.E funding to be ceased from public schools across the planet. And so their epic training and adventure begins, where the concept set is all about this team learning values and lessons about friendship, teamwork, perserverence and more!

Enjoy! )

Dance Dance Revolutionary
By: Noah Eaton
10/21/06

Gonna be a Dance Dance Revolutionary,
glowing through the motions,
singing my body luminary,
dancing what I believe,
where nothing is illusionary,
gonna show the world,
my feet are more than extraordinary.

We’re kaleidoscopically aerobic,
our heels go ricocheting like a pogo stick,
butterfly turning like lovesick gypsies,
burning brightly in impromptu freestyle,
aesthetic of the cool fertile,
making your heart beat faster until it gets zippy.

Gonna be a Dance Dance Revolutionary,
glowing through the motions,
singing my body luminary,
dancing what I believe,
where nothing is illusionary,
gonna show the world,
my feet are more than extraordinary.

The dance mat is gleaming with high voltage,
it’s my intuition that turns the ignition switch,
punctuating this hardcore symphony,
the way we play this game is by listening,
it’s how we get this world glistening,
reaching the ecstasy of harmonic epiphany.

Gonna be a Dance Dance Revolutionary,
glowing through the motions,
singing my body luminary,
dancing what I believe,
where nothing is illusionary,
gonna show the world,
my feet are more than extraordinary.

Gonna be a Dance Dance Revolutionary,
glowing through the motions,
singing my body luminary,
dancing what I believe,
where nothing is illusionary,
gonna show the world,
my feet are more than extraordinary.

Gonna be a Dance Dance Revolutionary,
glowing through the motions,
singing my body luminary,
dancing what I believe,
where nothing is illusionary,
gonna show the world,
my feet are more than extraordinary.
