Literature Text

our words used to dance
used to waltz
used to wear tap shoes so the whole world could hear them.
our words smiled
as the letters moved with the music
as the sentences created themselves in the rhythm.

but now our words stumble.
intoxicated,
they try to dance but the twirling makes them hurl.
tired,
they have taken off their tap shoes.
the letters,
the sentences
tangle themselves in our hair.
the smiles that once were now falter—
there is no rhythm.
there is no music.
I've played with this before, but like it better here I think.
Enjoy.
