The violin absolutely erupts—screeching, bending, and sawing aggressively against the upright bass for a full 15 seconds of pure, dissonant tension. It abruptly stops, leaving just a swinging ride cymbal.] [Verse 3: The Poet returns, his voice more urgent and rhythmic, riding the swinging cymbal.] Primary amenorrhea; absence of menses by 13 lack secondary sexual characteristics, if not by age 15.
