Wednesday Morning: Fever

she's like a living piece of disco, and
her outfit is a floor show, and
her motion is a choreo-
that -graphs straight off the chart
that's even when she's standing still
or barely swaying to the thump-tssh,
thump-tssh, yes there's bass-drum
-hi-hat, playing in her heart

she reaches up - to pull a file,
her body line: a lightning bolt
from straight left leg to grounded toe
diagonal to finger point
- you feel a jolt,
just witnessing
she does the hustle round her desk
and moves aside - electric slide!
to let you pass by,
rhythmless
