[littleteapotghost]

If I said

To my many best beloveds

"My heart is like a lobster."

It would be very silly

And absurd

And probably elicit a few comments of the immediate colloquial equivalent was of "classic [littleteapotghost]"

But today

It is because

I learned or remembered

It must tear itself apart

And become

Tender and weak

and vulnerable and impossibly soft

In order to grow.
