STAMPEDE OF THE DRAG KINGS. A RAUCOUS OF BRASS INSTRUMENTS FILLS THE STEAMY BATHHOUSE. A KING IN A SHEER BLACK MARABOU GOWN AND SHAGGY WHITE MOP OF HAIR JUMPS INTO AN ORANGE CONCRETE TANK. THE MESS OF WATER PARTICLES AND WET FABRIC OBSCURES THE OBSERVATION GLASS. AGONIZING WAILS. MORE HALF-NAKED KINGS ENTER, SWEATY, DRIPPING IN JEWELS. THEY FOLLOW HIM INTO THE TANK, TRIUMPHANT. THE WET KINGS PARADE OUT OF THE BATH, SIGNALLING THE GRAND FINALE OF SHIP’S MERCY.
