Row!

'Row'
The voice screams
'Row'

The blades cut at the water,
the seats slide back,
the boat moves on

'Row'
The voice screams
'Row'

The power-plants of the machine exhale,
The power-houses of the machine clench their teeth,
The power-houses of the machine pull

'Almost there!'
The voice screams
'Just a few more strokes now'

Neck by neck the 2 boats race,
Like fierce beasts that don't quite know how to fight,
And all the while the life of the water waits with silence,

Who do they want to win?
