Bullring
© 1990, Herb Hasler

The ever-present pounding of
a driving back-beat,
pulsing and heating the
stale dark air.

All around,
energy,
movement,
contact,
sex.

I stand in the eye of the storm,
watching the forms, carried on
waves of sound, moving gracefully
in syncopation and harmony.

It's a room full of beautiful mannequins,
animated in the motions of seduction.
