poor boys and the Fanshaws
white smoke and a hanging coffin
                       figure
somewhat inert
this is the, or a, beginning to something 
for the boys to do after the machine
              for the moment they are mimicking machines 
              to overcome male fear of (the) post male role
the enveloping wholeness of the 
seemingly aggressive music 
is really their womb
of renewal by dancing
        or cauldron of rebirth
                                 "are you allright mate?" 
was their chorus
they are
                  remaking the prospect for young men now
