There is a myth.
It says You are better than I am
It says I am better than you are
I say We exist in equilibrium

And without pleasure, there is no freedom.

Thinking pinking we are stinking
With substances from our pink linking
With Eros and with Aphrodite
We are rooted we are flighty
In the very best of ways
Flying happy flying gay
Flying in our pink array

Come into my clinic and lay beside me
We will sheathe ourselves in chocolate.
