Once I refused to talk. They forced me to sing for my supper. So I lost my
voice, and I threw my voice, and I threw myself into their hands and mouths
and bodies, and down their throats, and up their assholes, and through their
veins. "Take me," I said. Though who could hear me with my tongue up an
asshole. "Take me," I said. "Lift me out of my body and make my heart sing."
I wish they would wish they were meeting for the very first time. I wish
they would wish they didn't recognize each other. Their minds go blank, but
their bodies are hot and full of every other body but the one that's here.
The loss of history makes them constantly curious and continuously horny.
You mean you were here all the time? When all the while I thought I was all
alone here stranded in the jungle. When all the while you thought that you
were all alone here lost in the clouds. When all the while she thought she
was all alone here lost at sea. When all the while he thought she was all
alone here lost in space.
We are gathered here tonight as if in a city. Since the city has been wiped
out we bring our own. Better yet we don't have to bring anything to this
party. We make our own city as we go. We build it up, as we build ourselves
up. Once a citizen is expelled from the city the citizen becomes the
satellite city. Then two citizens together make a metropolis, and three
citizens together make a country. Four citizens together make a world. Come
and get me. I dare you. You've got the numbers. You've got the power. You
can drown me out. I'm just a voice crying in the wilderness. But the
bulldozers are coming over the horizon, and the builders are poised at the
edges. Come and get me. I can't go home again. Come and get me. I'm not
myself. Who am I then? Who's who anyway?
Lost in the crowd I found my way and founded a city to boot underfoot.
Never mind your own PC. What about your own PP? No, no that's not what I
mean. I mean your very own personal performers. Have they left you in the
lurch and gone back to join the band? Can your personal performer be in two
different places at once? But if that's so, does that mean nobody has to
move? Nobody move! Nobody move! At the same time-everybody dance!
Everybody dance!
