Dancing in the street

This lady was dancing in the street with such rage and expression, I do not understand how the policemen dared to approach her, much less interrupt her. Well, they were three at it. They had to be. What is even less understandable, is why they had to intervene at all. She was giving a performance, and a skilled one, its artistic sharpness and energy unquestionable. What could possibly have been wrong with that, especially since it was taking place at the time when the street was closed to cars, in the weekend. Anyway, in her artistic professionalism, she immediately incorporated the policemen and their intervention into her performance. Wow - they did not stand a chance. At the moment one of them touched her, she burst out in movements resembling the struggle of somebody drowning, and when they let go of her - in an instant - she continued with the weirdest steps and turns. To some people, normal rules just don't apply. Stefan Stenudd

Dancing with no inhibitions at all.
The young men watch her with mixed emotions,
awe definitely being one of them.
The policemen have no idea of what to do
with their catch.
They let go, but remain - puzzled, embarrassed.
Still, she has to stop. As if this Tokyo street were a public library.
