. . . telling those who swarm around him his desire
is that an appendage from each of them
fill, invade each of his orifices,-
repeating, chanting,
Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah
until, as if in darkness he craved the sun, at last he reached
consummation.
-Until telling those who swarm around him begins again
(we are the wheel to which we are bound).
(Frank Bidart)
