American poet Carl Phillips has once said that manipulating the syntax of a poetic line is a way to "seduce the readers." In "On Insertion," Wong illustrates same-sex seduction through textured images together with his type-written poem of the same title. The last lines of the poem go, "Tell me/ how often I'm wanted/... between "in love" & "in/ addition to this love." The linguistic insertion between "in" and "love" hints at something both additional and conditional, which shifts the tone of the poem from confident to masochistic, erotic to sorrowful.

美國詩人卡爾·菲利普斯曾經說過，操控詩句的句法是種「引誘讀者」的方式。在《關於插入》中，黃裕邦通過將具質感的影像，與其同題詩作的打字版本，描繪同性誘惑。如詩作最後幾句：「告訴我／我有多常被欲求／⋯⋯『在戀愛中』和『在戀愛／之外』」在當中所插入的語言，暗示了一些額外與有條件的東西，亦將詩作的語調從自信變為被虐，從情色變成悲傷。
