"My ambition as I remember and

I always remember was always

to make love vulgarly and immensely

as the vulgar elephant doth

and immense reptiles did

in the open air openly

sweating and grunting together and going

'BOING BOING BOING'

making every lunge a hole in the great dark

for summer cottagers to fall into at a later date

and hear inside faintly

(like in a football stadium when the home team loses)

ourselves still softly going

'boing boing boing'

as the vulgar elephant doth

and immense reptiles did

in the star-filled places of earth

that I remember we left behind long ago

and forgotten everything

after on our journey into the dark"
