whip
        wake up head
        whack the whale
        weary eyes leave shadows on my skin

whip         whip
        wake up mind
        worry no more
        wonder more
        whilst wallowing in wonderland

whip         whip         whip
        wake up brain
        will this poem continue
        with pudding instead of grey matter
        whoops, I forgot to blink
        while crackling noises leave my tortured throat

whip         whip         whip

whip         whip

whip.
