emergency off

Elaborate intricacy
the safety system of the heart
The emergency shutdown
switch is in plain sight
with a big red sign on it
You never want to punch that 
switch though, you never
know if you will not only crash the process
but stop the heart as well
so much exists unseen
in the wiring between that switch
and the heart it protects
that you can never really know just how
far the distance is between
run and stop.
