There is a city that only I inhabit, and there is one in you, too but that must mean houses are there or a hotel one may stay during a visit. I guess it depends on who you ask, if they believe in an everlasting love big enough to fill the whole metropolis inside a person. I did not know until I met you that cavities within me could welcome a second resident and he would stay staring at these organs without thinking they look unnatural, like paintings x-rays EKG screens. I am sorry for explaining this to everyone but I am just so happy that my heartbeat sounds like a ticking clock to you – we hold bodies that tell their own time.
