My heart races now.
Not the exhilarating, "Take my hand and let's run the world together" kind.
It's more of a timorous "Take me to the ER!"
My heart may just need a cry from all of this parlous activity.
My heart races now.
Maybe my words became importunate instead of important.
Maybe... no.
That is why
I crave an avant-garde speech without being malcontent.
The abulia taunts me like a ghost,
feeling like a nebula
that engulfs me.
My heart races.
I've been offered a placebo to calm my anxious heart.
Maybe pugnacious was a better word,
but I reject it until I find
the real cure.
Oh my heart.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
