The High of Adrenaline.
Adrenaline.
Like a
needle-less high,
or a pill free rush,
it courses
through frantic veins,
racing from
hearts to brains.
Muscles tense,
awareness
is magnified,
sensation peaks,
the world
becomes
pixel sharp.
Whether hair
stands up
on the back
of your neck
at a sudden
weird sound
in an alley,
or a cushion
of warm lips
sets your libido
in motion,
adrenaline is
the ultimate
natural high.
Gamblers are
hooked on it,
soldiers devour it
with each kill,
athletes excell to it,
and children dash
to and fro
in spastic patterns,
under it's influence.
It's God's buzz,
a quick pick me up
built right into
your goose-pimpled flesh.
It's cheap,
easily aquired
with little or no
harmful side effects
just try something
you never
dared do before
or take a minor
risk or two
before old age
subtracts
your adrenaline
and exchanges it for
a dreaded line
at the nursing home
for the weekly
bingo cards.
