Swing may have won the war: -
something so buoyant skating cross-rhyme,
cross-culture, loose, allied and opportune -
Moses supposing in the pretty ring-time.

It's so often said the Nazi mind in Kreigspeil-bustenhalter,
tripping over its Tiger toes,
could not swing to save its clumsy mythos;

yet, ah, Funk digs down deep and levers up,
raises the dead and dying - it skates over nothing,
but Valkyries in its Voodoo way
an ambulance for love.
