Home That Crouching Spirit Reaction Time

Reaction Time

Lemmings leap off from the sev
(“Seven,” “severance,” or “severe”?)
Levitate’s propulsive lev
Ignites before your legs can hear.

As “grrr” alerts and growls are grounds
For war, amassing howls gain ounces;
Grovel or gravel lies so near
The vowels’ intolerant thin allowances.

Intent still founders in the founts,
But “bold” has “boulders’ ” weight inferred;
The consequences are pronounced
Without your having said a word.

Pronounced – A play on two meanings: 1) spoken aloud and 2) very noticeable.
