Prelude to the Cold Heart ( Assumption)


When addressing the Cold Heart most approach with spurious intentions. Gingerly they probe . Gingerly they inquire. The Cold Heart cannot fathom such mutiny. We are more surreptitious than we appear and we are satisfied with the patronisim. The Patronism will muddle the perception with a boost to the ego: Head high , eyes shining in superiority, to them , you are nothing but a troubled being. No anamaly. No exception. No innocence. The Cold Heart is content to contradict the standard. Meticulously they search for keywords that will reduce you to a lable in a filing cabinet ; a generic definition and they must scruntinize to say that they have attempted to to treat the nonexistant malady because they are more duty than calling. They have provided me a hiding place. They have failed to search deeper than skin and words and funds and demographics and garb and speech and stastics to understand the controversial mien that defines her. When addressing the Cold Heart, approach with honest intentions. There is nothing to be gained . There is nothing to be relinquished. The introduction was as empty as the conclusion but, stronger than the body. Beat on.
