The most scintillating of this year's cock tableaux belong not to this year but to the 1970s. The purest example is James Broughton's *Hermes Bird (1979)*, a single long shot of a penis first in repose, then brought to reassuring stiffness. "Firearm of my spirit," says Broughton in a poetic overdub, "all that flows into flame." Yes, James, exactly.
