singing
horrendously off key;

bodies
jerking about
in rhythmic spasms;

arms
flailing wildly
above our heads
with no real sense of purpose
or grace;

hair
flying madly
in stringy, messy clouds;

all of this
obliterating the music
with giggles
and shrieks;


this is how -

because I know
the words don't really
sink in on their own -

this is how
I say
I love you.
