Liven it Up

Sugar-up the amplifier.

Sweeten up the ropes.

Tornado down the elevator.

Show me your hopes.



A scramble on the subway.

A ringing silenced dead.

Liven up the balcony

Before we go to bed.



Blast all those spectators

See how many you can craze.

Overload the sockets

In this giant maze.



Have you gotten your alphabet

all souped up in this mess?

Making that navy seal look like a girl scout

In a defiant green dress.
