The narrator laments that he's not suited for the average person. He's sorry that he can't play the piano with the other boys at school. He also laments the fact that his brother will be furious if he keeps having sex with boys of the opposite sex. He asks the piano player if he'll play at the school festival that's coming up in November. The piano player tells him that the festival will be a "full- cute" affair. The narrator then tells the boy that he has bought him a "stone-roasted gloom rumble" , and that he thinks the boy can buy him a sweet potato "off with a potato" . The boy says that he likes the sweet potato, and the narrator says that the boy is impressed with him. He tells the kid that he is in love with the girl, and he plans to get the boy to play for her at the festival. The teacher says that she's "just hav'ing her near" him, but the narrator points out that the girl is "in a dark labyrinth" in her mind, and she is just "being ing" her near him.
