Weird Milli-Stampede

Just moving about on rows of countless legs
seems a most complex concern 
of the millipede.


I wonder how its motor nerves synchronize
milli-leg motion so not a limb 
could impede


the smooth movement of the rest of its legs
to avoid entanglements or a 
weird stampede,


a blunder the millipede should guard against
gossipers-creepers like his 
cousin centipede!
