Dialogues, Dancers.

"What have you done?"

"You know, I am so glad you asked, I am feeling very pleased with myself today. What I have done is alter the mechanics of society. Now, in this new reality, everyone must dance to achieve anything. It's A Chorus Line written large, instead of a job interview there is a cattle call, everyone must quickly learn a dance routine and perform it, only the best dancers are offered the job. It doesn't matter what sort of job you are going for, dishwasher to president, everything is now decided by a dance audition. Now, I just know you are aching to ask me why, so allow me to just tell you . . . "

"Ahem, forgive me, but Parkstreet set out to write a dialogue, we must humour our creator and include some contribution from the other half of the conversation. So, why?"

"Why you ask? I'm glad you asked. Simply to make everything more beautiful. Life is not so different to before, great dancers are just as psychotic and self obsessed as great politicians and great businessmen, but they are so much more beautiful. To turn on the television news and witness a physically perfect body, blessed with poise and grace, it makes everyone happy. The best dancers everywhere have taken over all the important jobs. It turns out those jobs are not so difficult after all, anyone with enough self belief can perform the duties required once they have the authority of the position, dancers just do it so much more beautifully. I really am very pleased with this change. I think I'll keep it. It is no more worthy or fair than any other system, just prettier."

"Very good, carry on."
