Urgent need propels ceaseless movement,
A hellstorm of feral, untamed motion.

Iridescent smiles like neon signs
Invite the best and worst kind of attention.

A mosaic of sound howls on and on,
An onslaught of pleas and commands.

Blurred cascades of frantic images
Contort under kaleidoscopic vision.

On the brink of titillating ebullience,
We are stars in the black silk sky.
