Title: Dizzy dancing

                Boom's ebullient spinning widdershins
                whirling Dervish dancing solo,
                arms akimbo, not projected,
                body swiveling loosely
                around and around
                too many times
                with no pause
                'til nausea
                calls a
                halt.
                Lights dim
                and blurring
                she sits unstirring
                peers to the roof heavens,
                her face a pale sickly celadon,
                unbalanced, as momus unkind cackling
                produces Boom-boom dire dizzy looks-that-kill.

               There comes a pause, for human strength
               Will not endure to dance without cessation;
               And everyone must reach to point at length
               Of absolute prostration.
