Your Practical Heart

Practical Heart

Your practical heart
doesn't fall apart
it folds in quarters
easily reinstalled

I see it working
even when you can't
pulling strings
under your skin

you think of love
as some kind of drug
watch it yourself, you see
its logic to work out
do the math with me

your heart does equations
your brain subtracts and adds
your moods are notified
to feel weird, strange, or bad

digits run over you
calculations run the day
a message is sent through
"urgent information"

what happens next
is between you and your neck
it's up to you to risk it
never growing back

your heart does equations
your brain subtracts and adds
your moods are notified to feel
weird, strange, or bad

the heart's first quarter is filled with stars
to navigate nights alone
the heart's second quarter's got a
St. Bernard with scotch under its nose
the third's a vault filled with "iou's" and "I love u's"
and the fourth's your dream bed; it barely sleeps two
