My heart beats
Blood moves
Even when I do not
At a steady pace
Making progress
Processing and transporting
Until it stops
Tha-thunk
Tha-thunk
Tha-thunk
Tires go round and round
Decade old concrete
With regular expansion joints
Making for a steady beat
My eyelids heavy
Being lulled to sleep
Then yanked up again
Only to resume counting sheep
In time with the expansion joints
Tha-thunk
One fluffy sheep (baaaa!)
Tha-Thunk
Two fluffy sheep (baaaa!)
Until I finally pull off for a nap
And it stops
Rumble roar
Rumble roar
Rumble roar
The earth performs a cosmic piroette
Spinning in place almost perfectly
A minor wobble
The judges deduct half a point for
Orbiting around a center point
A mighty ellipse
All while spinning
With a silent rumble
A terrible mute roar
In space they can't hear you scream
But neither can they hear you coming
Earth is the mighty system ninja
Masked by it's nightside
Then springing upon you with light
Rumble roar
Rumble roar
Pop
Pop
Pop
Soft as a soap bubble bursting
Cells divide
The most subtle of sounds
Steadily building in a crescendo
The tiniest of sounds
Building with sheer numbers and repetition
Progressing to a complete human
Floating weightless
Inside a mother's womb
Tiny heart beginning to beat
Ba-dump
Ba-dump
Ba-dump
