One two three
One two three
Pound throb throb
Drip pound drip
It’s a pretty
Pretty ugly waltz
We play. Drip
Pound Throb, One
Two Three. Try
to open triptan.
Fail rip flesh
Pound drip gash
(Shouldn’t have used scissors)
Stumble, two three
Sniff drip gasp
Bleeding too fast
(The hands enter out of rhythm
They Must learn the rhythm
They grab paper and tape)
It begins again
One two three
One two three
Pound, drip throb.
One Two Three
throb, pound, ooze,
Drip, drip, Pound.
Nose, head, bleed
Rhythm and speed
Throb head nose,
On it goes.
There’s another verse
Longer than (pound)
The first (Throb)
Next: The Week it all changed
