in the beginning

there was orange

and face paint

and a pink bear

and frisbees

unplug the TV

and footballs

and balloons

and paddleball

and children playing

on a secluded grassy knoll with just one voyeur

marginalized people

testing their wits

and balancing

their moves

and their dancing shoes

for a study in contrasts

and ink

gathering

into colors

of laughter

to take a pink bear

back to your lair

and show yourself

red ribbons

and yellow balls

like kites in the trees

all hooping

and bending

gyrating

booty shaking

ecstatic

and coy

and then resting

upside down

and whirling

dancing
