Now I can start by
pulling the heart
Superiorally
And cutting through the inferior vena cava
Which is bringing the blood back
From the regions of the body
Inferior to the diaphram
Again I’ll take the scissors
And cut through the aorta
and the pulmonary trunk
So those major outflow vessels
have now been cut
The last large vessel
That I need to cut through
Is the superior vena cava
Returning blood from
the upper limbs
and the head
back to the right atrium
So, again, I will cut through that
And the heart will be free.
