<poem>
He jogs feintingly  
He jogs feintingly  


crossing his right hard,<br />
crossing his right hard,
surpassing the park walkers  
surpassing the park walkers  


whose eyes he dodges:  
whose eyes he dodges:  


his head bobs a blur <br />  
his head bobs a blur   
inside the hood’s dark,<br />  
inside the hood’s dark,   
hands fluttering high<br /> 
hands fluttering high  


masking non-stoppingly,<br />  
masking non-stoppingly,   
battling spirits in air,<br />  
battling spirits in air,   
part defeated, part actor,<br /> 
part defeated, part actor,


dancing what we must know is<br /> 
dancing what we must know is  
shaking his heart at the world,<br />  
shaking his heart at the world,   
muscling his song.<br />
muscling his song.
