Heat Seekers

Those fast twitch
Muscles
Small and unassuming
Combining to form reaction
Shoot darts toward chest
Immediately triggering
Nerve impulses
The right ones

Sans perspective
Appearing and disappearing
But recognizing
The things that look like things
And the moving patterns
Attached forever
To anything ever known
Changes

In the background
Hazy browns
Golden wood tones
Muffled sounds
All to build on

Those heat seekers
Once aimed
Inadvertently
At a chest
Left cables
Now attached
Chest to chest
Now
And always

When given a tug
Teetering backwards
Something with tension
To counter balance
All the newest ideas
Bold inventions
And state of the art concepts
Come to find out
Those nifty whipping tails
Were also also attached
Via gut
And throat

Invisible
Funny
Inalienable
