I pour the contents of my heart's whim onto paper it shrivels with fear beating like the chittering teeth of a freezing Eskimo I poke it, ever cautious, with a long pointed stick It shudders flinches jumps five whole feet as if struck by lightning I decide to replace the poor hairy beast opening up my chest, reconnecting all the loose wires, and closing the whiny mechanical door. The hinges squeal like hungry piglets I burp, and say, "Ah, s'just heartburn."
