I open my door

Fritz Hamiltn

I open my door, & before me is a heart/ I say, BEAT IT!”/ &
he says, “I am beating!”/ & I say, “Well, aren’t U a clever
little bastard!”/ & he says, “Please don’t fault me my

heritage.I haven’t maligned yr mother.!” So I say, “I’m
sorry, but it’s not every day a heart comes beating on
my door.What do U want?” & he answers, “I’m giving

myself to U, because U’re a heartless motherfucker.”/ I
don’t like to hear it, but it’s true, I feel empty inside, & at
other times I feel my chest is inhabited by a rock. “All right,”

I say, ”but what can I do with U? How do I feed & care for
a heart?” The heart steps beside me into my house & says,
“THE ONLY WAY IS WITH LOVE!”/ The house

catches fire & burns down with both me & the heart as well, &
as I hear him beating his last, he screams,
“PASS the ICE!” & melts into his ashes . . .
