Heart

Robert G. Patterson

Pierrot

Took his heart

And hung it

On a wayside wall.

He said,

"Look, Passers-by,

Here is my heart!"

But no one was curious.

No one cared at all

That there hung

Pierrot's heart

On the public wall.

So Pierrot

Took his heart

And hid it

Far away.

Now people wonder

Where his heart is

Today.
