Patient Presented With No Outward Symptoms

They say feelings of the heart are visceral. When mine attack
I do indeed find recourse in being Jon of the Iron Stomach,
Which is a thing that I am and a thing that I do,
Because to be human would be to vomit my feelings all over you,
and though I do it for me, the rear end of my mind knows
That to express brief infatuation's inconvenient for us both,
For you as a person and myself as something other than.
Indeed, if to disregard us both for my own sake is what is human,
Then I want even less to do with humanity than I was thinking.
