Pain or Pleasure?
When they took him there
did you hear what they did?
Was there call or grunt?
Laugh or scream?
Joy or lamentation?
We perform the strangest or most grotesque
of auditory communications.
Such a mixed bag, such a miscellany!
Torture or tickle? Titillation or skin sensation?
Can we choose to hear pain or pleasure?
