A young black man named Darius
Gives a massage to an old white man
A tired ex-history professor
Who talks and whispers
Throughout the session
Between grunts and gasps
Stretching out the story of Darius
The Great (550-486 BC)
Whose empire was the largest ever
Who conquered Greece even Naxos
Who built amazing palaces and temples
In the next session Darius
Spends the hour while massaging
Explaining how those bricks were laid
These alternating sessions go on
For a long period of time until finally
The body on the table is dissolved
