Dancing with a bolt

Dancing with a bolt of lightning
Up and down the neighborhood streets
Past the streetlamp and the garbage cans
Down the asphalt river

Dancing with a flashing wave
Slapped silly with vigor
Against the wind my body clashed with time
Beneath stars that burnt out years ago

Here's a hot flash in the pan dance in the night
Here's a river for you
Here's a wild guess at every distance
A wild guess at the number of those deadbeat stars
