"Universal Troops"

Yes, the song is called “Universal Troops”.

Everybody bleeds

Yes, “yes” yesses throughout the patio,

Everybody gives

through every body.

Everybody takes

Yes, some bodies are more every than others:

Everybody keeps

the everyest body reveres the singing body,

Everybody’s up

admiring his every.

Everybody’s down

Yes, she believes in every.  He sings every

Everybody loves

body dances.  Well some do--the everybodys,

Everybody falls

but they are everybody now, grooving on the universal.

Everybody feels

But specifically she feels.

No, she needs.

Everybody feels

Without need, no

body feels

nor feels body feeling.

No, nobody needs.

Everybody whispers

No, nobody needs to need,

Everybody talks

but when they do look at the every yessing brightly from no

Everybody screams

body.

Author's Note

I'm not really sure the comedy of watching a new age sense of community get up and dance came through... I guess it's an anthropological comedy of watching one person watching--in other words I presume to see her seeing the performer pleasure (feeling), which I presume to be entirely constituted by her seeing.
