Beatbeat. Beatbeat. Beatbeat.
Muscle contract. Pull tight. Squeeze.
Muscle relax. Release tension. Loosen.
Quick, now. Move quicker
like an oiled machine,
chugging and groaning and powering.
Slaving away
like a battered engine,
pushing and huffing and pounding.
Muscle contract. Pull tight. Squeeze.
Squeeze. Squeeze.
Beat. Beat. Beat.
Run, now. Run smoother
like a fresh train on new tracks,
racing and pumping and rushing.
Gliding away
like a growling sports car,
sprinting and panting and zooming.
Oil those rusty iron hinges
and polish titanium springs.
Solder those crackling wires
and tighten loose bolts.
Beatbeat. Beatbeat. Beatbeat.
