How to Be a Man
Bleed from your mouth
Bleed from your nose
Bleed in a bar
Bleed in a library
Bleed loudly
Bleed often
Ask your father about bleeding
Write a book about bleeding
Paint a picture
Of bleeding
Name your son
Bleeding
Pray for bleeding
Weep for lack of bleeding
Bleed for fun
Bleed to die
But do not
Bleed because.
