Literature Text

i once believed in the perfect song
i looked far and wide in search of it
in yours i found many a perfect measure
and for a while i thought yours was the one

it is the one i m still dancing to

but even musical tastes are socially constructed
that is what little i ve learned

dance moves only respected when they are a challenge
but why should we care what the judges think
are we their pawns or are they ours

i wanted to learn how to write the perfect song
i wanted to relive what i felt when i first heard yours

but in the end there was only one guarantee
it had to be replayed from the beginning

until i find a way
the initial conditions will never be the same again
unless the entire game is restarted
and all memory erased
