Dance Moves
Choreodipity
When you can get away with it
Lead
When you have to hide
Follow
When you take a Chance
Toe-step
When you lower the Boom
Goose-step
When Blame reaches out
Take a left
When Remorse blocks the way
Take a right
When Empathy rises
Take another left
When Sympathy's left
Take another right
When Gratitude's ahead
Fall behind
When Failure's behind
Press ahead
When Guilt begins to brew
Pirouette
When Debt comes to collect
Dip
When Conscience cuts in
Yield right-of-way
When the Floor's all clear
Take a bow
When the music's over
Exit, Stage Left
When in haste
Left is always Right

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
