The same, in the original this time. For those who care.
Swollen heart. This is an insidious malady chiefly common in that mythical organ that pumps life through the veins of the ego: care, coronary care, complicated by galloping fear. The go-away-closer disease. We learn young to be leery of contact: Never open up, we learn... you want somebody running their dirty old fingers over your soul's privates? Never accept candy from strangers. Or from friends. Sneak off a sack of gumdrops when nobody's looking if you can, but don't accept... you want somebody taking advantage? And above all, never care, never, never, never care. Because it is caring that lulls you into letting down your guard and leaving up your shades... you want some fink knowing what you are really like down inside?
