Circumlocution

A centrifuge

A dizzying, separating force

Pushing some to the periphery

A cup:

Stirred,

(not) shaken

Still,

Spinning

Still.

Still here.

An existence less precarious,

More privileged.

I am around,

Encircling what is mine

What is me

And being encircled, like Sita

In turn

Turn,

Turn over 

Turn over to your other side

Before you are over-fried

Burnt

Burnt out

Turn,

spin around

(dis)contents swooshing

Swirling

In a vortex

That attempts to “clean”

The mouth of a

washing machine

cannot scream

Not soundless either -

Rattling (softly).

Rattled (deeply).

I am going in circles

I am going in circles

I am going in circles

I am going in circles

I am going in circles

Can you tell that I'm a dancer?
