The decision’s made; the time has come to get ready.
Calculating the setting complete. Anxious arrivees
Prepare for sensuous bodily thrusts by achieving a look
Envied by others and enjoyed by many. Bright lights
Affirms dress and face. A gelling and simple shake
Of hair gives the fantasy of what is to come, possible feel.

The trip has commenced and anticipatory feelings
Start to grow fond of the increasing readiness.
Visions conjured produce ideas of methodically shaking
Bodies that arouse hormonal triggers. Arrival
In sight, eagerness overflows with affirming lights.
Clubheads are in view, visuals of persons suave looking.

The weather frigid; the line growing, it looks
Like a long wait. Bodily parts scarcely covered feel
Of cold air chilled, migrating towards warm lights
Displaying “Play Lottery Here.” Many patrons hovering already
Were beginning to enter, line dwindling, figured ETA
To be 5 minutes, couldn’t be sooner to cure bodies shook.

For identifications fake, young people with hope, shake
In fear of guilt exposed, while legals warrant quick looks
Over; finally, anticipation is coupled with a threshold arrived.
Twenty-dollar cover makes even the fullest wallet feel
Hungry. Jackets and essentials secured, mind and body ready
Themselves for a night dazzled by strobing, colorful lights.

Now, as the continuing atmosphere dims, flashy lighting
Increases heart flow, hormones, which make a body shake
To the rhythm of the music. Drinks galore provide ready
Inhibitions that once were solid. Now, envious onlookers
From all walks take rapture from your rhythm and feel
The presence within themselves. You have now arrived

Upon nirvana. When night’s dark scheduled the arrival,
Now the natural progression into day shows sun’s light,
And all events relived, a song erupts, “Oh, What a Feeling!”
Walking outside again reminds of the cold. Yet, shaking
Is now the product of the night, where manufactured looks
Were many, bodies chiseled, and pheromones ready.

Preparation elicits a feeling, while bodies make the look.
Where the lengthened arrival merely delays the enlightenment
Of minds anxiously ready to bounce and shake.

Author's Note: Having worked at a restaurant that had live bands, I came to appreciate good music. I never thought of myself as a fan of funk, but Milo Z (www.miloz.com) made a fan of funk out of me!
