Daft Punk Live Changed My Life (1)

I came anxious
panic of masses
people ear to ear
eye to eye
“face to face”

but when green
light touched –
singled me out
I heard it —
this is no place
to hide

so I shed black
for light
of any color

my switch was
flipped

Daft Punk Live Changed My Life (2)

we are one
hand
moving
a generation
of lost
found
in beats
and cameras
held
above heads
lights pump
goosebumps
through sweat

Daft Punk Live Changed My Life (3)

singing reverb
cell phones held
to heaven
capturing bass
this slab of concrete
Bicentennial Park
in Winter
our stage
a slice of freedom
each of us
alone in a sea
of 25,000
and I let the light in
opened my mouth
to every synth from
pounding pyramid
moved feet and
arms and teeth
and hips
like transcending skin
ready to merge

Daft Punk Live Changed My Life (4)

the god of unity
wrapped his legs
around each of us
and we touched
vibrated
did lines of bass

i was sober
on water
out of my mind
on dance

and when people
find jesus i wonder
if it feels like…
like ninety minutes
of soul orgasm

screaming, tears
seizure of sound
a lifting up
into speechless
consciousness

shuddering through
class and race
sex and complex
I let it come
become
I became love
and paid it forward
in gum
