Look - His body is glorious
when it moves across the floor
when it bends and lifts an orange sphere
at the right trajectory, an arc to in in in
you are in no position to say No
when coaches tell you to applaud
you were never in position to say No
to His muscles & bones
the charge of rape was dropped
you can never say No
when you're told to call His name
you can never say No
to turning your lungs & breath & c(h)ords
over to the student body
to lead them in desire
for His body
to move across the floor
& lift the orange sphere
into the right, desired arc
your body
belongs
to these other bodies
as you long as you hold the pompoms
and want to stand in front
and you sh-d never have to hide
