i play the music and select the songs

there’s a crate next to me and it contains every emotion i plan to hit this evening

out of all the songs on all the albums

art within art of pairing the right song with the right moment

out of all the songs on all the albums

spinning lights within the darkness 

cacophony and voices and bodies colliding with one another in this space

out of all the songs on all the albums

contains the one

contains the images 

voice

imagination

sound 

and tone

for right now

see the dj controls the strings

so they say

but the dj lets the mood happen

and heightens the intensity

so that when you listen

when you dance

when you feel your body must move

must talk

must act

the dj okay

here’s the next song

you remember this?

if you didn’t, now you do…
