The Baptism & The Toilet [antikvár]

An almost well-to-do arrogant Protestant church, obviously Baptist. Most of the action takes place on the altar. A huge white cross oj glass is dangled from the ceiling at the rear of the altar with the inscription "IHS" written on the crossbar. The decor is mostly red velvet and gold. A speaker's stand is at the front of the dais, and 2 microphones stand in front of it. The inscription "IHS" is written on the speaker stand as well. Under this inscription a plaque that says "WHBl RADIO." minister: Break the chain of ignorance. Lord, in his high place. What returns to us, images, the tone of death. Our cloak of color, our love for ourselves and our hymns. (Moves to center of the stage bowing, with folded hands at his chin.) Not love. (Moans.) Not love. The betrayed music. Stealth. We rise to the tops of our buildings and they name them after us. We take off our hoods (removes red hood) and show our eyes. I am holy father of silence. (Kneels.) homosexual: Not love. (Moans.) Not love. The man kneeling is only suppliant. Tarzan of the apes of religion. Lothar in the world. Weakling and non-swimmer. Manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. Not a good person to sleep with. Gags on all flesh. The flesh hung in our soft sleep. That thin Jewish cowboy. minister (rising, doing slow dance step with leg raised): Precious. Precious. This is a deception. A laggardly music, again, that image. (Leaps.) The place of the soul, my kindly queen, is wherever it rests. I fuck no one who does not claim to love me. You are less selective. homosexual: (starting to run in place): Action. Camera. (Stops.) Stop! Stop! Where are my critics? Where are my father's friends with their bowling bags.^ I refuse to make a spectacle of religion without my most perceptive allies 11
