rock to the rhythm

the music is loud

bodies grinding closely

drunk lonely people trying to get laid

and i jump in the dance cage

heteronormative asshats

uncomfortably nursing bottleneck beers

as they try to laugh at me

but i am so far away

moving my body

grabbing bars in time with the beat

the crowd fades away

i’m not here for your admiration

or your judgement

i’m here for me

i lose myself in the thrum of the bass

go ahead and watch me

you are just another face in a crowd of strangers

and i’m an experience

so witness me motherfucker

i am transcendental
