The Big Skinny Dipper

I Rejoice
to use my voice
as rhythmic vibration
playful intonation
flowing through my body

Funny hat jazz scat
jostling jester slinging slang
saucepan scenery
a parcel of delicious morsel
hey you!

Wake up!
the moon is rising
the bats are swooping
the bugs are going bonkers

Don’t be afraid
to take the stage and
dance the twerk
ain’t no righteous Puritans
ever had any righteous fun

Welcome nightfall
remove your costume
take a dip and
let your skin feel the water

Exult in sensation
salvation’s serendipity
O sacred swoon
