i have
a big heart
not to say
i am overly
compassionate
or extra
sweet and
loving
hyperbolic
and mostly
unwanted
by the world
at large

no
i have
a big heart
because
the heart
is a muscle
and anxiety
is the ultimate
work out
i imagine
with how rapidly
it seems to
swoosh whoosh
the unwanted
bastard likely
has washboard
valves or
whatever

a walking
infarction
waiting to
occur
another
statistical
probability
a poet
killed by
his oft ignored
oversized heart
