Buh-bum, buh-bum. Buh-bum, buh-bum. Buh-bum,
Buh-bum. Pulsing, racing; rushing fast through
Your veins, arteries, capillaries
And all the organs inbetween. Tonight,
It wants out.
Bursting, rushing, dribbling, bleeding. ‘Tis no
Great matter, yet you feel your life sliding
Away. Your heart beats faster. A twist
Of irony on nature’s part no doubt.
Rushing you on as it rushes the life
From your body.
The Thin Man beckons; and this is your fear
Primordially encoded between your ears.
