a YouTube-taught breakdancer
at his junior-school dance
clears the crowd
like a Jedi
& lets the BPM bounce
his
limbs—
hitting the sweet-spot
between exhibitionism & Art
sounds like the crack
of a post-match bum-slap
but awkward
like a team-mate
who farts on contact—
have you ever watched a magpie
fly full-tilt
into a glass door
& then die?
if you haven’t, search ‘creativity’
in the Urban Dictionary &
you’ll see
the definition is a GIF:
that magpie’s trajectory.
