“I’ve got a romantic’s heart

strapped inside of a cynic’s chest

and no where near the courage

to do anything about it.

Everyday, I go to war with a body

that gives like the trussel

on an old sewing machine,

and write soliloquies

to the seam of my ribs,

all because I am too afraid

to lift my shirt

and actually

touch it.”
