Listening or dancing?

Swimming or floating? Walking or standing still? Pissed off or laughing? Opposites give each other meaning. The listener’s ear hairs swing to the beat. And the dancer moves to the sound. Going through life floating down the stream. Or swimming along with events. My Mum used to teach swimming
