Sleek black boys in a cabaret.

Dance today!
White girls' eyes / Call gay black boys.
Black boys' lips / Grin jungle joys.
Dark brown girls / In blond men's arms.

Sing Eve's charms!
White ones, brown ones, / What do you know / About tomorrow / Where all paths go?

Tomorrow. is darkness.
Joy today!
