This is dedicated to all those "somebodys" who "fell through the cracks when no one caught them" standing at traffic lights with cardboard signs.

*TRUNCATION: A sequence of steps purposely eliminated from the fixed pattern of choreography in order to fit the remaining pattern exactly to the phrasing of a certain rendition of a song (*arjjazedance glossary of dance terminology).
