Smooth Subversive Groove
Slip into
Subversive Groove
So smooth, so smooth a move
It slides
Beyond the truth
At hand
The sands of…
Stand upon my
dancing feet
So sweet
Subversive Groove
Prove your love
Too meek
A heart
Of weakened beat
Won’t do.
You have to prove…
Black is not too
Dark for you
Loose…
All that can be
Free…
That which is not
Found.
Bound By that which is
Hollow pounds
Below the base of sound
Roll around
The sparseness of this space.
A race that
Won’t be won
(be one)
Run…
Run…
Running from
Feeling
(something)
Doing all
That can be done
A thought I had.
A bit of fun
In darkened,
Open,
Blackened
Room.
Doom is…
Unassuming
(Soothing)
so Smooth
Subversive
Groove…
Subversive Groove
So smooth, so smooth a move

At hand
The sands of…
Stand upon my
dancing feet
