392. The Tin Woodman Lovers


Who had no hearts just brains and a feeling for fun and a sense of what was fit but what they had big, what occurred to them bam, was that they were my god heartless, cold, while the rest of the world was warm, and warm was what made all the other lovers happy and everybody happy seeing them warm and happy and they thought my god suppose they catch us doing an unloving thing they'll see like through a crack that there's no heart in there no more than in the tin woodman so like the tin woodman they were very careful to do no unloving thing out in the world and even inside when they were making love which is so often an unloving animal thing with somebody unhappy they who knew that at that most revealing moment they were just animals there was never an unloving thing the other might see only a happy animal keeping another animal happy and they went through life inside and outside so circumspect in every act of love that nobody ever guessed, not even the other, that there was no heart in there.
