why people stretch

muscles taut, fingers high
toes so far away
inhale, hold, and a sigh
groans as we stretch away

according to the wiki
stretching reasons are defined
"they" know that quite simply
flex is what we have in mind

that could be true but i am beginning
to doubt the standard notion --
when people stretch, (whatever inning)
it's their hearts that are in motion
