End of season softball team celebration

Animated

4/24/09

For many it's alcohol

that loosens energetic flow,

words pour from mouth

brain synapse fires stories

body turns to fluid

tension easing in shoulders

hands illustrate with flurry

becoming electrically charged conduit

as voice volume increases

constraints to laughter release

the mind finds absurdity

in most human antics

while outer world perceptions,

defenses, 'proper' behavior, vanish

when good feelings erupt

from entering emotional pool

coated by joy, love

for friends, strangers, community

where life's lines blur

and impulse for fun

melts boundaries that separate

whether human, animal, Nature,

into 'One' big expression

though each distinctly unique

adding to Creation cacophony

so chaotic and frenzied

within our animated existence.
