Walking can’t happen without a thought,
but running can happen by impulse
yet they seem the same,
whether thought or impulse.
A sudden noise can be the same.
Someone can pull a trigger without thought,
intent, or even impulse.
But holding the gun foresees the act,
sets the stage,
and owns the blast.
