Attempt 1
Your heart beats
staccato
Like the
tick
tock
of your watch
Times sidekick
Look
Ing
Slick
On your wrist
Detached
From
All things
Patron saint
Of all spies
Slicker than water
While you’re in your prime
Attempt 2
Your heart
Beats
Staccato
Like the heels
That walk
On by
Leaving you
Denied

I no longer wear watches, but that shaming staccato and the voice whispering “you aren’t doing enough fast enough” are still there in the background.
Love your Gorilla avatar!
