This page treats organ music as a strange sacred test, where only charged phrases like 'holy fuck,' 'holy Hell,' 'Holy shit,' and 'Holy Jesus' seem to apply before the poem turns toward Christ and the unspeakable.

The corrected transcript clarifies the poem's argument. It is not just a list of profanities; it is measuring what language can approach, where humor fails, and where religious feeling becomes something nearly impossible to discover or say.
