Living on the dance floor

Lost in the wilderness,
I'm practicing happy,
I'm counting the steps,
measuring the beat,
memorizing the rhythm,
of my own smile,
blinded by my surroundings,
tirelessly I dance,
retracing movements,
like smiles and laughter,
I work through the routine,
trying to romance the nuance,
of this dance,
sweat pours,
with each step more,
exhaustion is maddening,
I don't stop because I can't,
I don't stop because I can't,
when it gets quiet,
I wipe my brow,
find my mark,
count myself in,
and begin the dance again
