Sorry I am late
Oh, please don't mark me tardy
Heed my alibi

During my transport
Plaque clogged the arteries--it's
Lucky I'm alive!

I interprested it as if the heart attack was the literal and was a metaphor for trafific... like cars clogging up streets. No? Lol.

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Hey, Lexy! You really must pardon me on this one, having never studied Biology I suppose I am quite ignorant when it comes to stuff like this :/ And I suppose there might be other metaphors in it but reading the comment by unknown made me biased so I cannot comprehened what they might be. So, you really need to explain this one to me :) Love, Saphira.

Tja... Intressante. Transport, I believe you are referring to dieoxyribnucleic acids being transported through the veins and plaque build up blocked the arteris. Therefore, causing a heart attack or cardiac arrest.Clever indeed.
