for those about to rock,
i salute you.
and for those about to sit back,
the same.

anyone could give a second chance.
i propose a singular dance
amid the ancients
and their forward glances.
i declare a stepping stone
placed in pockets; never thrown.
and i demand
a slight reprimand
of yourself
as yourself is no one else.

reline your byline
to include your pseudonyms.

and dance to the music in your mind.
