"I will go dancing instead of to bed" |

The Dance of Life
The dance of life continues as it always has
Surrounded by and lifted by the dead
We dance and we die without knowing why: we dance
Eschewing little deaths I choose instead
To dance myself to death the way I was
As my soul rides the wheel on three and red
Not bled away on penny bets but One Great Chance
I would rather be wrong than stay too long: I go
But as I go now I go all at once: I know
The dance of life continues as it always has
The living lifted carried by unnumbered hands
Which turn the wheel which carries me on three and red
I am a fool yet one who understands
That those who would live must dance with the dead
I will go dancing instead of to bed
O you with eyes which smile at mine would you dance too?
The dance of life continues to continue: You!
