invisibly, i eat strawberries and cheese.

music beating round and round
dancers spin and squiggle
spinal sinusoidal waves
and hip vibrations

music beating
i sit on the couch
between
shy stranger slumping
and
resting friend with a bellyache.
the laughing couple loses balance
while lapping at each other's necks

music beating and beating
in my stomach
in my ears
in my heart, my throat, my feet, my head
their bodies, my head,
their bodies, my heart beating and beating

invisibly,
i eat strawberries and cheese
wondering...
doesn't everyone look beautiful?
