Shes got a hemi

The magnificence of the cast iron heart
intimated illusions of grandeur
Among captivated passersby
Transplantation dreams of their
Own withered and underpowered
Life-providing mechanical masterpieces
Pull eyes from sockets and disjoint limbs
The sultry aluminum, plastic, and carbon-fibre forms
Surrounding the visceral centerpiece
Though presented with individual airs of brilliance
Have not the grace to draw away the moths
Circling and scorching themselves upon
Considerations of sacrifices required
Life changing modifications to allow
Hemispherical combustion chambers
Fed by polished and ported ventricles
Custom built ram-air aorta
Pumping the finest race-grade lifeblood
This spectacle of power and elegance
Would drive a unprepared body to ruin
Underutilization and over exertion
Of motor and else respectively
Once pulled to madness precipice
The circling fins scatter,
Having had their frenzy suddenly halted
Realization struck as ionic charges from minds clouds
Lone straggler patiently admires
The now lonely beacon of supple dedication to
Principles of thermodynamics and mechanical engineering
Measurements and calculations
Technical checks and balances
Representative begins her spiel
The latest and greatest
Blah blah blah
Motor monger has already
Made emotional purchase
Takes delivery of cherished promise
of power and efficiency
Rapid go go juice deliverance
And so on
But
Then again
What's a heart without
The chest in which it beats?
