Instinct

coded cells
animate the shell
and pull the strings
of whim and will

millennia of learnd routines
dictate schemes
hatched from choice-
genetic obligation

Confronted with an unknown threat,
time is short to think and vet,
past experiences decay,
and the animal comes to prey.

Tear the flesh or run away.
