Distinct

The enormous heart keeps thumping,
and thumping.. and thumping,
Knocking out the pandemonium,
For nigh on an hour,
It is nigh on a second,
Another thump is virtually audible,
Absurd! but not exaggerating,
Recognised through instinct,
Definitely is what it is lacking,
A piece it meant to be,
Thumping together, perpetually,
Till kingdom come.
