consider movement

consider movement — gesture goal
for shift or bend in skeleton or soul
impetuous yen now or then
for flexion deep extension bold
for arch or sway or deviate display
you ponder, say: what fiber to engage?
what axon to cajole?

consider muscle tone alone
lying side, supine, or prone
for posture to intone and hold its own
— for what reason? still unknown —
query poem: what cell, fascicle or bone
(agonistic? antagon?)
needs innervate or hone?

and what if temperature or heat
needs generation beat discrete
teetered hemeostat effete
registers fahrenheit retreat
in need of boost or ATP
for shiver to entreat, do you tweet:
“achtung, actin! myosin bind! contract! repeat?”

no. how indiscrete.

for prime to move well out of oxygen debt
for synapse to cleft a nerve transmitter’s bet
for filament slide to parry mysium’s feint
for reticulum’s pride to tend motor end’s plate 
for vessel to vesicle calcium’s shift
neuromuscular junction to function not drift
consider thrift? synergistic assist —
— at the wrist?

to move tissue and bone
maintain sure muscle tone
precipitate heat from the head to the feet
(du pied à la tête, si jamais vous parlez….)
to purvey a sashay, should occasion convey
or present —

with neurologic consent
and no gods’ circumvent
heart aligned and not bent
(beyond reasoned lament)

consider intent.
