the typical case of heart vs. head

Chest beats strong,
Sure as the red rush
Of blood with each pulse.
Pounds as a steady drum
Deep, certain, mine.
It resounds above,
Where synapses fire
With cerebral smarts
Intelligently weaving
Reasons, judgments, facts.
The zaps are low beeps
That overlap and mold together
Into a hum of rationality.
The sounds emblaze each other
And I
Am overwrought with the noise.
