I hope to never experience this type of trauma from either end and feel empathy with those who do. While modernistic, the action and visuals are quite clear for all that. Maybe I watched Barnaby Jones too much as a child, but the images of a crsh cart are easy to see.

The frenetic pace and the chaotic nature of the music was intentional; I took a big chance on this because a lot of readers could have easily been put off by it. Thank you for the interpretation and kind words. take care...dan
love this, dan... the first stanza describes perfectly the troubled pulse that sends the diagnostics into chaos... in the second stanza i hear the beeps and alarms of the medical machinery and see the flash of life jolting beneath the paddles as the soul sits at heaven's doorstep... and that last stanza shows me a man who appears lost and powerless, his own blood pumping, not knowing where to go... great write, my friend... I guess the hospital time has provided you with much to write about... hope Dee is mending well and that you are relaxing a little more :) - FT

Here I was thinking that this write was an utter failure, maybe I delved into a landscape a tad TOO experimental. I just wanted to convey how pulse can be an anatomical action and an electrical impulse all at once. And then some poet has to go ruin it all by saying "figure this out!"
And as is your wont, you actually do. Your reviews always amaze me FT. take care...dan

Very heartfelt poem Dan. The feelings that go into this I can see them just by reading. I wish you the best.

I like to experiment sometimes and the result usually fizzles. Like a pulse ticking down to flatline. I appreciate the read/review very much, Ana. take care...dan

We interpret things based on our own life experiences.

Hockey, street hockey....I'm actually going to leave this piece up and see if anyone thinks it's funny? Maybe? Then as a bonus for reading it I will offer a free MRI to all who participate. Sorry, Ana, I'm just not really happy with this write. The music is unbelievable, though. thx...d

My muse was slightly off kilter and...ah, hell, it just kind of stinks. Thank you for the kind words, though, like a good friend would do. take care...dan

There is nothing wrong with this...you are an accomplished writer here at the WC, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so!

In my group of friends alone I don't even consider myself in the top 25. I don't think I have the naturally occurring talent that so many others have, I just try really hard. I'm greatly humbled by your compliment. thx...d
always wanting instant gratification...power and wealth and electric relationships....
this can lead to outages of the heart and mind...
shock treatments...
