Hour Fifteen

The steady beep, beep, beep
proves I’m still alive,
in case you were wondering.
Every time the line peaks
rest assured my heart
is performing her duty.
Blood is traveling,
pumping through this vital organ–
in and out, in and out.
The only question I have is:
why didn’t you monitor
my heart this closely before?
