Floor hard
Slightly waxy to the touch
Shines in the neon lights
Laughter and talk
From all sides
Surrounding the middle
Wheels hiss and turn
Carrying each person on a journey
Even among the crowd
Each person stands alone
The ache in the ankles
Pull of thigh muscles
As the swish…roll…
Goes on
Lights flicker
Music in your bones
Faster
Flying across the wood floor
Trying to not crash epically
Faster yet
Can I go faster mom?
Did you see me mom?
Watch
Watch me go
*sigh*
Slowing the roll
Easing towards the exit
Grab the wall spin into your seat
Collapse in loose limbs
Still feeling the swish…roll
Of the floor
In
My
Bones
