When a person gives you arrhythmia, you may want to write a love poem.
That is, if you don't die of a heart attack first
or feel the implosion of a vessel burst
in your brain from a would-be lover driving you insane.
When a person gives you a stroke, you may want to paint a sunset.
That is, if you don't drop the brush first, if you don't spill the paint onto the floor from a misplaced curse of silence forevermore.
