Relief

fingers dance
tapping, weaving through quick, fast, speed.
keep time keep time
tap tap tap
not one before the other,
fingers must express
through nothing but a morse code
tap tap tap
one must not go ahead of one's partner
fingers dance, pounding the alphabet
taps scream the soul of the instructor
dancers, tapping til they bleed
insanely working through the night
must get this out
accomplish this
this is our identity,
this piece of art,
this masterpiece.
it is me and i must dance it out
i must tap it out
i must write it out before i blow into a million pieces.
fingers dance a routine
not otherwise open to the world
tapping releases, dancing expresses, paper consoles.
