Command + A step here.
Control + Zipper. No, zebra. A zigging and zagging and surrender to the zephyr on my cheek.
Option + Alt you. You hilarious tease of forgotten functions.

A song in my stomach, twisted into computerized contortions
A wellspring of movement, made mistakenly malicious.
The way you make me feel, I make me feel, I make me me.
Seeps out, secretly through the meticulous cracks of caked fears.
An
inhale
exhale.
A nod. Then two.
A twitch of the finger
tips of the toes bounce in the tight space between.

A sly smile, a knowing glance
to the Miss Step, who was always there,
here
everywhere
and nowhere.
