Yes or No

Mind travelling for a long period—what, why?—
was introduced to rapid short rest.

once again, with a match point, the mind
wandered. The pace frightened my modest heart.
Stomp with a capital ‘S’. The chase was
close.
The poison spread.
Encrypted and decrypted by your words, 
a major reluctance sneaked in. 
I headed a wild guess.
