i followed electronic music
bc i couldnt hear the words
of other songs.
again — of course,
i could hear them —
i have ears, you idiots,
you’ve seen me —
but i couldn’t hear them.
i could hear the beat,
though.
i could hear the beat
and the motion
and the flow.
ive always been able
to hear the beat,
but now i can feel it,
and i can sing
and dance
openly and without
abandon for the world to see —
for you to see.
yes, you.
look at me.
look at us.
we are beautiful,
and we will find freedom
in ourselves and each other
if we work together
to follow that mf beat,
mane.
